Who was Zhou Lei?
He was a prodigy of the Zhou family and had great potential.
The ancestor of the Zhou family had personally met Zhou Lei once. It was a great honor for the younger generation to be summoned by the ancestor.
The ancestor of the Zhou family had said that Zhou Lei had the potential to become a top expert among the Divine Realm experts.
If he could break through, it was very likely that he would become a True God.
This sentence made Zhou Lei the most popular prodigy among the younger generation of the Zhou family.
Although it was only very likely that he would become a True God, this sentence was too shocking. Moreover, it was said by the ancestor of the Zhou family, so it was very credible.
A True God was an existence above the Divine Realm experts.
Under normal circumstances, only the seven top forces had the existence of a True God.
A True God expert was almost at the top of the Divine Realm.
Anyone below a True God was an ant.
Even Divine Realm experts like Divine Realm experts like Divine Realm experts could not withstand a single blow from a True God.
The reason why the Zhou family could become a clan second only to the seven top forces was because they had a True God expert.
However, this True God expert would never make a move unless the Zhou family was in a life-and-death situation.
Zhou Lei was very talented and quick-witted.
From a few words, he could tell that All Is Empty must have obtained some great opportunity. Otherwise, he would not dare to humiliate Mochizuki so fearlessly.
Therefore, he decided to go personally.
It had been almost two years since the Divine Realm relic opened.
There were many True Gods who had died. Basically, those who had survived were all outstanding True Gods and Divine Spirit Realm experts.
As for those in the Divine Transformation Realm, almost all of them were dead.
Fang Chen was an exception. He was in the Eternal Realm, not even a True God. Not only did he survive, but he also obtained the inheritance of a swordsmith and became an extraordinary swordsmith.
To him, a supreme-grade divine artifact was no longer important.
After discussing with All Is Empty how to deal with Mochizuki, Fang Chen gave a supreme-grade divine artifact to All Is Empty.
After spending so much time together with All Is Empty, they could be considered to have gone through life and death together. They could be considered good brothers, so there was no need for him to hide anything from them.
"This is a supreme-grade divine artifact. I can't accept it." All Is Empty shook his head and refused.
"Brother All Is Empty, supreme-grade divine artifacts are nothing to me," Fang Chen said.
"Although you have the Seven Absolutes Starfall Sword, you can't bring it out so easily. Besides, you are a sword cultivator. This supreme-grade divine artifact is very suitable for you." All Is Empty's attitude was firm.
Until Fang Chen told him about his identity as a swordsmith.
All Is Empty stared at Fang Chen with wide eyes.
"Brother Fang, you … you are a swordsmith!"
All Is Empty's heart trembled. To him, a swordsmith was simply a legendary existence.
He didn't expect to see it with his own eyes today.
"Brother All Is Empty, please keep my identity as a swordsmith a secret." Fang Chen smiled.
All Is Empty nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry, I will definitely keep it a secret for you."
At this point, Jie Kong's face was filled with envy.
"Brother Fang, you really are amazing. You can fight against a Divine Spirit Realm expert with your Eternal Ancient Realm cultivation.
You even have the identity of an extraordinary swordsmith. I really envy you, "All Is Empty laughed mischievously.
Fang Chen smiled faintly.
All Is Empty was about to say something when he noticed a few Sect disciples at the foot of the mountain.
"They should be here to scout for information," All Is Empty said solemnly.
"It's normal. We are openly humiliating Mochizuki. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that we are provoking Mochizuki and luring him out.
Many people will definitely be curious about what we have to fight Mochizuki, "Fang Chen nodded.
He had thought about this before.
In fact, besides baiting Mochizuki, Fang Chen also had another idea in mind.
That was Zhou Lei of the Zhou Family.
He would never forget Zhou Lei's ugly face in the Star Relic.
In order to force him to give up Star and Moon, he had almost killed him.
If not for Star and Moon's firm attitude, he might have already died at Zhou Lei's hands.
At that time, Zhou Lei wasn't as strong as he was now, but killing Fang Chen was as easy as squashing an ant.
In the end, before Zhou Lei left, he set up a formation to trap Fang Chen.
His intentions were extremely vicious, and he even arrogantly left behind some ruthless words, saying that he would wait for Fang Chen in the God World.
After so many years, Zhou Lei's words often echoed in Fang Chen's mind.
Daring to be tempted by one of his women was courting death.
"You said you would wait for me in the God World, and now I'm here. Where are you?" Fang Chen muttered to himself.
As time passed, more and more disciples of the Sect gathered at the foot of the mountain Fang Chen was at.
Regardless of whether the Sect had a good relationship with Sky Gazing Mountain or a bad one, almost all of them came here.
They wanted to see what ability All Is Empty had to challenge Mochizuki.
Unfortunately, Mochizuki never appeared.
"Brother Fang, is Mochizuki afraid?" All Is Empty asked.
Fang Chen shook his head, his pitch-black eyes staring at the distant sky.
Although they had only met once, Fang Chen understood Mochizuki very well.
He was a very prideful person, and being provoked like this would definitely make him furious.
But so many days had passed, and there was no movement at all.
"Should we continue waiting?" All Is Empty asked.
"Wait."
Fang Chen spat out a word, then closed his eyes.
Three days later, there was an uproar at the foot of the mountain.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
In the void, a figure shot over at high speed.
Seeing this figure, the crowd below exclaimed in surprise.
It was Zhou Lei from the Zhou Clan. Who would have thought that he would come instead of Mochizuki?
"Look, it's Zhou Lei."
"Heavens, even Zhou Lei is here. Does All Is Empty really have the strength to defeat Mochizuki?"
"Those two are just trying to please the crowd. Zhou Lei is here. They're dead meat."
Zhou Lei's appearance caused an uproar.
Whoosh whoosh.
Zhou Lei landed on the peak of the mountain.
His gaze fell on Fang Chen and All Is Empty.
"Finally here?"
Seeing Zhou Lei, Fang Chen clenched his fists, and his body tensed up involuntarily.
When his eyes met Zhou Lei's, intense sparks instantly burst forth.
"A Ninth Level Eternal Realm trash dares to enter the Heavenly God's Relic?" Zhou Lei sneered.
Zhou Lei's body had an innate aura of a superior being.
Facing Fang Chen and All Is Empty, he was like a high and mighty emperor looking down on them.
In his eyes, a Ninth Level Eternal Realm cultivator was worse than trash.
He looked at Fang Chen with eyes filled with disdain.
It only paused for a second before shifting its attention to Jie Kong.
In his opinion, a Ninth Level Eternal Realm trash could survive until now because of All Is Empty's protection.
"You're All Is Empty?" Zhou Lei asked.
Fang Chen had been staring at Zhou Lei since the beginning.
However, it was clear that Zhou Lei ignored him. Fang Chen could read some information from Zhou Lei's gaze.
"He doesn't recognize me."
The current Fang Chen and Fang Chen in the Lower Realm were very different.
Moreover, Zhou Lei did not expect that the guy he met in the Star Relic would stand in front of him so soon.
Fang Chen's heart burned with anger as he clenched his fists.
However, he did not act rashly.
"That's right. I'm All Is Empty," All Is Empty said.
"How dare you provoke Mochizuki with your strength?" Zhou Lei sneered.
All Is Empty wanted to say something, but Zhou Lei interrupted him.
Bang!
Zhou Lei suddenly attacked, sending All Is Empty flying with a punch.
"Trash."
With that, Zhou Lei turned and left.
He had thought that All Is Empty had obtained some kind of inheritance, but now it seemed like a joke.
Zhou Lei didn't want to waste his time on these two sensationalist guys.
"Where do you think you're going?"
At that moment, a voice rang out.
Then, a Cosmos Formation spread out and surrounded Zhou Lei.
"Yes, a Master Formation Master."
Zhou Lei looked at Fang Chen with a hint of emotion in his eyes.
"No wonder a Ninth Level Eternal Realm cultivator dares to enter the Heavengod's Relic. You're a Master Formation Master," Zhou Lei said.
After setting up the Cosmos Formation, Fang Chen set up the Illusion Formation and Golden Sword Formation as he stared at Zhou Lei.
"Who are you? I've never seen you in the Easternmost Land, nor have I heard of someone like you," Zhou Lei asked.
A Master Formation Master could not be unknown in the Easternmost Land.
