Chapter 482: Chapter 361 Heaven Venerable’s Struggle_2 Please continue reading on ΒOXΝʘVEL.ϹΟM . Under the ‘Suppress’ character, Mansion Venerable was horrified to find that he could not move at all, and even his Divine Power was severed! “You…” Panic flashed across Mansion Venerable’s eyes as he stared at Li Cheng in disbelief. Aren’t we all at the Complete stage of the Divine Venerable Realm? How could it be that I can’t even break through his one word? How is that possible? “With your strength, I don’t even feel the desire to take action,” Li Cheng said. As the character disappeared, Mansion Venerable regained his freedom, but how dare he make another move? He could only stare at Li Cheng with lingering fear. “Take me there, clear his name, and then release the person. Do you have any objections?” Li Cheng said indifferently. Mansion Venerable furrowed his brows and after a few seconds of silence, said, “Are you sure? Although I am not your opponent, I represent the Divine Court. Your actions are equivalent to being an enemy of the Divine Court!” “Really? Does the Sovereign of Origin know that you are framing others?” Li Cheng looked at Mansion Venerable. “Nonsense! The criminals held in the dungeons of Mansion Venerable City are all unforgivable. Each has been reported to Master Heaven Venerable. Are you saying that I, Mansion Venerable, am framing others? Are you beating around the bush?” Mansion Venerable said sternly. With a casual wave of his hand, Li Cheng squeezed space toward Mansion Venerable. Despite Mansion Venerable’s resistance, he was pressed so much that his bones made cracking sounds, breaking numerous bones in an instant. However, at that moment, a cold aura surged over, and a terrifying pressure swept across! Li Cheng’s figure appeared a hundred yards away. He had just left when he saw numerous ice crystals forming where he had stood. (vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display("vi_765923973")}) To control power within such a small range and make even Li Cheng feel a sense of crisis—without a doubt, the one who made a move was a Divine Emperor! As the ice crystals dissipated, a young man emitting a cold aura appeared next to Mansion Venerable. He casually broke the squeezed space and turned his indifferent gaze toward Li Cheng, “Attacking a high official of the Divine Court. Even if you are the son of Confucius Ancestor, you should be executed!” “The son of Confucius Ancestor?” Mansion Venerable’s pupils shrank slightly, looking at Li Cheng with even greater wariness. Li Cheng’s expression remained calm, sizing up the young man, “To be executed? Just by you, a Pseudo Divine Emperor?” “Audacity! Master Chen Qingshan is one of the four King Kongs under the Mysterious Fire Heaven Venerable. Ignorant child, you are far too arrogant!” Mansion Venerable shouted angrily. Li Cheng took another serious look at the young man, “Chen Qingshan? Doesn’t seem like you’re worthy of the name!” Chen Qingshan snorted coldly and with a wave of his hand, space seemed to freeze. Soon after, thin ice spikes emerged from all directions, completely enveloping Li Cheng and stabbing straight at him. A scornful smile appeared on Li Cheng’s calm face, “This is all a Divine Emperor can do? Oh, that’s right, just a Pseudo Divine Emperor.” As Li Cheng’s voice fell, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Laws suddenly became chaotic, and Chen Qingshan’s attack method was disrupted! Li Cheng took a step forward, casually throwing a punch straight at Chen Qingshan’s chest. The latter tried to dodge, but found the space solidified, unable to move for a moment! In that split second, Li Cheng’s punch landed on Chen Qingshan’s chest, causing it to cave in and his back clothing to shatter! Li Cheng’s fist turned into a palm, with the power of space surging in it, transforming into a blade of space, and he slashed downward, cutting Chen Qingshan’s body in two! Whoosh! Chen Qingshan’s Divine Origin fled, and his voice emanated from it, “How dare you, son of Confucius Ancestor, destroy my body? Hmph, if it has come to this, then there shall be no peace until death!” “No peace until death? Are you even worthy?” Li Cheng looked at the Divine Origin. The Divine Origin quickly formed a new body, but its aura was already much weaker than before. Li Cheng reached out and grabbed, the chaotic Heaven and Earth Laws condensed into a sword, and with one swing, he slashed Chen Qingshan into pieces. The Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame, enhanced by the Rule of Fire, enveloped the Divine Origin, searing his Divine Soul. “Ah… Stop…” Chen Qingshan’s screams came from the Divine Origin. Beside them, Mansion Venerable’s face turned pale as if he had seen a ghost. Chen Qingshan was a Divine Emperor! A Divine Emperor, so easily defeated in the hands of Li Cheng? How is this possible? Could it be that Li Cheng was actually hiding his Cultivation? But that’s not right. If he was hiding his Cultivation, he would not be able to continue hiding it after making a move. Which means Li Cheng truly had the Cultivation of the Complete Stage of the Divine Venerable Realm and effortlessly crushed Chen Qingshan, who was in the early stage of being a Divine Emperor! Thinking of this, Mansion Venerable felt his scalp tingle and quickly sent a secret message. Li Cheng glanced at Mansion Venerable but did not stop him, Shake people? Keep shaking! By the time the person you called arrives, Chen Qingshan will probably be dead. The Heaven’s Hidden Soul Nourishing Flame had already advanced to become a Divine Fire, and with the Complete Rule of Fire blessing it, its power was astonishing. Chen Qingshan’s screams grew weaker and weaker, his Divine Soul growing fainter by the moment! Just as only a thread of his Remnant Soul was left, space abruptly froze, and a terrifyingly scorching aura engulfed the area, charging straight for Li Cheng! Li Cheng’s pupils contracted, “Mysterious Fire Heaven Venerable!” Without any hesitation, Li Cheng’s mind stirred, and he took out the Nine Dragons Devouring Sky Tripod! As soon as the great tripod emerged, a fearsome swallowing force burst forth from its mouth, rapidly devouring the scorching aura, and the frozen space shattered as a result! “Eh? This tripod is not bad!” an indifferent voice sounded, and in the next moment, Li Cheng felt he had lost his connection with the Nine Dragons Devouring Sky Tripod. Li Cheng focused his gaze and saw a purple-robed middle-aged man who had appeared on the scene at some unknown time, his palm surging with terrifying Divine Power, suppressing the Nine Dragons Devouring Sky Tripod. The middle-aged man had sharp brows and star-like eyes, and an unyielding authority seemed to radiate from his expression as he shifted his gaze toward Li Cheng. “Little fellow, you think you can do whatever you want with the identity of the Confucian Sect Master’s son? Killing this Mansion Venerable wouldn’t prompt me to say anything, but you killed a Divine Emperor under my command, and I must say, you are asking for death!” The words of Mysterious Fire Heaven Venerable were detached, and a killing intent appeared in his eyes. At the side, the kneeling Mansion Venerable felt a chill run down his spine. In the eyes of Heaven Venerable, was he just an ant whose death wouldn’t matter at all? Li Cheng frowned slightly, just about to speak, when a familiar presence appeared beside him, and a playful voice simultaneously rang out, “Asking for death? I’d like to see who dares lay a hand on my junior brother!” When Li Cheng saw who it was, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, “Seventh Senior Brother!” The newcomer was none other than Light Destroying Heaven Venerable. Mysterious Fire Heaven Venerable snorted coldly, “Light Destroying, this is my territory!” “So what? Go ahead and try to lay a hand on him, and see if I don’t beat you so badly even your own mother won’t recognize you!” Light Destroying Heaven Venerable crossed his arms over his chest, looking down disdainfully. “Unreasonable brute!” Mysterious Fire Heaven Venerable’s face darkened. “We people of the Confucian Sect are the most reasonable. For you, Mysterious Fire, using fists is the most appropriate!” Light Destroying Heaven Venerable clenched his fists, flexing his muscles, ready to engage in battle. Mysterious Fire Heaven Venerable was livid, casually smashing the Mansion Venerable’s physical body with a slap and grabbing his Divine Child, shouting angrily, “Speak! What happened?” With only the Divine Child remaining, the Mansion Venerable’s face showed utter confusion. A lofty Heaven Venerable, upset about his own men being killed, was now taking it out on his own men? What happened to your territory? You’re the master of your own territory, aren’t you? Is this how you show it? Of course, the Mansion Venerable only thought these things to himself. Dare he speak them aloud? After composing himself, the Mansion Venerable said, “Replying to Heaven Venerable, this man came up and specifically asked for someone in the death cell. Naturally, I disagreed, so he made his move!” “As soon as he acted, it alarmed Master Chen Qingshan. Master Chen tried to intervene but was killed by him!” Hearing this, Mysterious Fire Heaven Venerable looked towards Light Destroying Heaven Venerable, “Light Destroying, you know very well that those held in Mansion Venerable City’s death cell are unforgivable felons. Yet you, a cultivator of the Confucian Sect preaching the righteousness of heaven and earth, wish to rescue such an unforgivable miscreant?” “Unforgivable? Who gets to decide that?” asked Light Destroying Heaven Venerable blandly. Mysterious Fire Heaven Venerable clenched his teeth in fury, “What do you want to do?” “Hah, I thought the definition of unforgivable was up to you to decide. Since it’s not, well then, let’s have a trial!” Light Destroying Heaven Venerable scoffed. This statement made the Mansion Venerable’s face change dramatically! Mysterious Fire Heaven Venerable also noticed the anomaly, casually crushing the Mansion Venerable’s Divine Child, and even its Divine Soul couldn’t escape. Both Li Cheng and Light Destroying Heaven Venerable frowned—silencing a witness! Immediately after killing the Mansion Venerable, Mysterious Fire Heaven Venerable dusted off his hands with disdain, “I don’t have the spare time to re-trial criminals who have already been judged. The death cell is right there; if you want someone, go claim them yourself!” “Just to be clear, if you rescue someone from there, the news of the Confucian Sect saving felons will spread. Don’t say that I framed you!” Li Cheng frowned. This Mysterious Fire Heaven Venerable was truly ruthless, casually executing the Mansion Venerable. Now, if they took someone from the death cell, the prestige of the Confucian Sect would be lost. If they didn’t take someone, the Confucian Sect’s face would be lost. Whether they took someone or not, Mysterious Fire Heaven Venerable would be the winner! Then, as Li Cheng was pondering a way to break the impasse, a statement from Light Destroying Heaven Venerable made Li Cheng drop his jaw in shock! Light Destroying Heaven Venerable raised an eyebrow, “Truly ruthless, Mysterious Fire. I’ll give you one chance to restate your position!”
