The clouds were thick and the gods had descended. Their divine might was vast!
A huge pressure pressed down on him. It was as if he was in a temple. When he looked back, even the door had disappeared.
There were clouds and mist everywhere, and the people on the clouds and mist were getting clearer and clearer. At first, Long Chen was really scared, but when he sobered up and carefully looked at these 'people' with his aura, he found that this so-called divine might was not that scary!
At most, it was just a bit scarier than the previous Rainbow Palace.
If they were real gods, 72 gods standing here, how scary would that be?
When Long Qinglan was at his strongest, he hadn't even become a god. That was already enough to shock the entire Eternal God Domain!
Therefore, the ones in front of him were definitely not real gods.
Also, this place was called God Statue Palace.
The entire White Bone God Palace was still very long and there would definitely be many more palaces. This was just the second palace, so how could all the gods appear?
So, he felt that it was impossible!
Thirdly, after a round of careful observation, he discovered that the 72 people above the clouds were actually similar to the silver-robed and golden-armored warriors he had seen in the Rainbow Palace. They were all lifeless puppets, or rather, divine statues. Now that Long Chen had awakened his flame of life, he was even more familiar with these things.
They didn't have life.
So, there was nothing to fear.
But even if they were statues, they were too lifelike. Almost all of them seemed to be observing him.
That feeling would still make one's hair stand on end.
When the initial fear and worry passed, they still didn't move. Long Chen started to observe them. At the start, his gaze naturally fell on the god in the center!
Long Chen had seen this person before on Mount Emperor Jun. It was the statue of the top ancient god Di Jun. He wore cloth and looked very ordinary. In the crowd, he didn't stand out at all. But in reality, he was a natural emperor!
Long Chen had seen his other appearance. It was extremely handsome and domineering. He believed that was his true appearance.
Now, this Di Jun statue was also looking at him. Although it was a statue, it looked no different from a human. It was made of flesh and blood, just that it didn't move.
On the other hand, the statue on Mount Di Jun should have been carved out of rock. The two were not the same concept.
Other than Di Jun, there were other deities who were dressed up. Basically, they were all graceful and magnificent, extremely domineering, possessing true divine might. Some controlled lightning snakes, some rode divine dragons, some embraced the moon, some were like giants, and so on.
Other than Di Jun, there was also the Primordial Giant God, Heavenly Emperor Zi Wei, Eastern Monarch Tai Yi, God King Qing Xu, and the more ordinary Heavenly Fire Divinity, Mystic Ice Goddess, Radiant God, Hell Demon God, and so on.
The seventy-two primordial Gods of the human race appeared clearly in front of Long Chen.
Long Chen heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they weren't real. Otherwise, he would really be dead this time.
Now, they were still above the clouds.
Long Chen couldn't help but wonder why 72 statues of Primordial Gods had appeared here.
After calming down, he was about to go up and take a look. At this moment, he recalled the sense of danger he felt when he first entered. Although it was a statue in front of him, that sense of danger didn't seem to have disappeared.
Long Chen thought of the silver-robed warrior in golden armor …
At this time, a cold snort sounded like thunder. It was deafening, and for a moment, it scared Long Chen.
"Who dares to barge into my race's Heavenly Palace!"
This voice came from one of the seventy-two statues above. When Long Chen's gaze swept over them, one of the statues actually moved. It felt similar to the silver-robed warrior in golden armor. Although it wasn't a real deity, and Long Chen naturally didn't know where those deities had gone, the appearance of this fellow in front of him might resolve his doubts. Of course, it would also bring him greater danger!
The one who suddenly moved was a god statue dressed in golden armor. His entire body was overflowing with brilliant colors, and his entire body seemed to be cast from gold. Even his skin was faintly golden. He held a golden halberd in his hand, with three points and two blades. When he woke up, boundless light erupted from his body. His gaze was like a blazing fire, filled with boundless battle intent. With one look, one could tell that he was an expert who was obsessed with martial arts!
"Mortal, how dare you barge into my Heavenly Palace. Die!"
That golden warrior jumped down from the clouds and attacked in a grandiose manner. In the blink of an eye, he landed on the ground, causing the entire Deity Statue Palace to rumble. What made Long Chen slightly relieved was that the statues in the clouds did not seem to come alive like this deity in front of him.
There were many deities that Long Chen had not seen before, so he wasn't sure which deity in front of him was from.
Even so, the other party gave him an extremely terrifying killing intent. It was definitely countless times stronger than that of the silver-robed warrior in golden armor.
Now, Long Chen was facing him in the Deity Statue Palace …
The other party's divine eyes shone brightly, and his entire body was shining with a supreme radiance. The golden halberd in his hand pointed at Long Chen and shouted like thunder, "I am the Martial Deity's' Mortal Body '.
Guard the Deity Statue Palace. Thou shalt commit suicide. If I make a move, I will definitely destroy your three souls and seven spirits, and you will never be able to reincarnate! "
Of course, he couldn't commit suicide.
It was difficult to even transform into a divine dragon and fight here. After all, the space was not big. He held the God Slaying Sword with one hand. Currently, the God Slaying Sword had over five hundred dao patterns, which was just right for him to use.
The moment Long Chen took out his weapon, the Martial Deity was enraged.
The so-called Martial Deity probably had a deep relationship with Long Chen. Among them, the True Martial Emperor Palace was related to the Martial God Ancient City, and weren't the ancestors of the Martial God Ancient City the eighteen Martial Gods?
In other words, the Martial Deity?
Unexpectedly, it was him!
Then what was the so-called mortal realm's physical body?
"Who knows what you are?
What is the Mortal Body?
If you tell me, I will believe you and definitely commit suicide. "
The thing in front of him was basically lifeless. Of course, it shouldn't have much intelligence, so Long Chen wanted to get something out of it at this critical moment.
However, the other party shouted angrily, "Damn it, how dare you make fun of me!"
At this moment, the Martial Deity's power suddenly erupted. Long Chen could clearly see the complete World Tree, the Heart of Law, and even the one billion Celestial Palaces that only real deities could possess!
Inside it, a billion lives lived!
Of course, it was just a flash.
"Bang!"
The Martial Deity was the pinnacle of martial arts. He was an expert in close combat. Now that he was attacking with the golden halberd, his moves seemed simple, but they contained thousands of variations and infinite power. As he attacked, the wind and clouds around him surged, instantly suppressing Long Chen within his weapon!
Long Chen used the God Slaying Sword to execute the Slaughter Sword Art that he had not used for a long time. Now, he could even execute three thousand strikes. With his current power, the Slaughter Sword Art's profoundness was all about speed. Faster and faster, the attacks became fiercer and fiercer!
In just an instant, he had exchanged over a thousand blows with the Divine Spirit of Martialism. He could sense that the power of the Divine Spirit of Martialism wasn't that great, and was about the same as City Lord Di Jun's. More importantly, the Divine Spirit of Martialism was able to unleash a truly profound might of the Heavenly Dao. Perhaps it was the laws!
The martial dao's rule!
From the martial dao to the Heavenly Dao, and finally, the rule!
The rule was the most profound power of the world. It was almost like the ruler of the world, controlling one of the rules of the world.
"Two thousand strikes!"
The sword qi around Long Chen soared into the sky. The Slaughter Devouring Sword Qi exploded and bombarded the Martial Deity's body. The two thousand strikes that surpassed the limit unleashed a terrifying power never seen before in the Slaughter Sword Art. The fierce strike pierced through the Martial Deity like an arrow!
"Bang!"
At that moment, the Divine Spirit of Martialism calmly swiped his hand across the golden halberd. A series of abstruse words appeared on the golden halberd. The words contained the might of the Heavens and Earth, as if the entire world was trembling with his every move. Every word contained the power of destruction and the power of the supreme Laws!
The golden halberd clashed with Long Chen's God Slaying Sword!
Long Chen suddenly had a bad premonition!
As expected, during the clash, the explosive power of the God Slaying Sword sent the Martial Deity flying. The Martial Deity even rolled a few times on the ground. This meant that the Martial Deity before him wasn't a real deity. However, he was able to use some supreme power. For example, during the clash, Long Chen had clearly forced the Martial Deity back. However, an indescribable force suddenly acted on his body, rendering him unable to resist!
At that moment, even Little Skeleton cried out in pain, as though the God Slaying Sword was on the verge of breaking.
Meanwhile, Long Chen was in an even worse state. Cracks of various sizes suddenly appeared on his body, as though his entire body was about to break apart. If that happened, he would undoubtedly die. Even his head was broken. The feeling was undoubtedly excruciating. At the same time, it also frightened Long Chen.
He deeply understood that this was most likely the power of a deity, the power of the rule.
Under the rule, his body was on the verge of breaking apart when the Martial Deity uttered the word 'break'!
Just as his body was about to break apart, at the critical moment, Long Chen transferred the Flame of Life to his own body. At that moment, his entire body was burning with emerald flames. A tremendous amount of life force flowed through his body and suppressed the attack of the rule of martial arts in a very short period of time!
In fact, ordinary Theurgies couldn't possibly block the attack of the rule of martial arts.
In the Martial Deity's opinion, Long Chen would definitely die.
However, in reality, the Theurgies that Long Chen had executed were the Ancestral Dragon's Theurgies. Although they were only in their embryonic form, they were fundamentally superior to the rules of the gods. There were two types of rules. One was the rules controlled by the deities. Some were strong, while others were weak. The other was the fundamental rules of the entire world, such as destiny and the birth of life.
The Flame of Life was currently only a Theurgy. However, in the future, it would definitely grow into a supreme fundamental rule.
