Chapter 1362 – Inciting Discord
In the complex of black palaces high in the sky:
“Success!” God Lord Gloomheaven couldn’t help but smile.
He had earlier been worried that there might be a problem with using this teleportation array and suggested that a Yao beast be sent in first. However, God Lord Stellar Aspect’s disciple was the first to go through the array, which dispelled any of his doubts.
After all, God Lord Stellar Aspect would not use his own disciple’s life to make a joke. Moreover, each teleportation took immense amounts of energy. After sending over ten people, even this fancy teleportation array began to show signs of damage.
“Once my disciple enters, he will lay down a sensory array that can increase the efficiency of the teleportation array, but this teleportation array is almost out of energy and has even been damaged. It is best that we do not send in a second batch,” God Lord Stellar Aspect calmly said.
Xin Wuheng only escaped with four people, none of them at Rank Nine. Logically speaking, Ancient Soul Hall’s team was enough to utterly crush them.
God Lord Stellar Aspect fell into deep thought. When performing the teleportation just now, he sensed the meddling of a high-level Destiny principle. There were truly not many people in the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods who could surpass him in understanding of the Dao of Destiny.
“Could it be that party?” God Lord Stellar Aspect’s eyes became even more profound.
In truth, even before he first arrived, he sensed an invisible Destiny energy disrupting him, causing him to arrive much later than he had predicted.
The people around him were all amazed by God Lord Stellar Aspect’s astonishing methods. Ancient Soul Hall was only responsible for determining the rough location of the Ancestral Legacy Treasury, but God Lord Stellar Aspect only needed this bit of information to find a flaw in the Ancestral Legacy Treasury and construct a teleportation corridor.
In the Ancestral Legacy Treasury, Yu Heng and the members of Ancient Soul Hall arrived in the skies above a forested swamp.
“This is the Ancestral Legacy Treasury of the Giant God Race?”
“What a powerful suppression!”
All of them were unused to this suppression and cried out. Only God Lord Stellar Aspect’s disciple Yu Heng was unperturbed. Suddenly, he smiled.
“Split into three teams. The target is the Ancient God Seal!” Yu Heng spoke.
This dimension was enormous and could in no way be called a “treasury.” The Spacetime suppression made it even more difficult to find a small group of people.
The three half-step God Lords grimaced. They came to this place with more concern for the secret to becoming a God Lord, but now, they had to listen to a Rank Nine Ancient God.
However, they all knew who the person backing Yu Heng was. God Lord Stellar Aspect had miraculous skills and even the respect of God Lord Gloomheaven.
In the end, the ten members of Ancient Soul Hall divided into three teams. Each team was led by a half-step God Lord.
“This is a map of this place, but it might be very wrong in some places. After all, far too much time has passed….” Yu Heng took out an enormous map.
The map was extremely simple, roughly sketching out the terrain and marking any particularly dangerous areas.
At a glance, they noticed that there were forty to fifty of these exceptionally dangerous areas. But they were even more shocked to see that Yu Heng had a map of this place.
…
Meanwhile, the Giant God Race team was slowly approaching the Giant God Race treasury.
The others besides Zhao Feng began to slowly see the signs indicating that Zhao Feng was correct – that this place truly was occupied by a group of Yao Gods.
“How could it be like this? Occupied by a group of Yao Gods…!” Ancient God Resplendence’s charming face appeared rather dejected.
“Too much time has passed, causing the defensive arrays of the Giant God Race treasury to slowly weaken until the Yao Gods could break in and occupy the place….” Xin Wuheng sighed.
For the Giant God Race treasury to have been occupied was a massive blow to their cause. If they were able to obtain all the resources within, the Giant God Race would be able to rapidly strengthen and rise. But at this moment, according to Zhao Feng’s description, there were twenty-some Yao Gods inside. There were even two Rank Nine Yao Gods, and one who seemed to be far stronger than an ordinary Rank Nine.
Even if they used all their trump cards, they would still probably die to this terrifying group of Yao Gods. Moreover, the Yao Gods of this place were skilled in Spacetime Intent. If they decided to force their way in, there would be no going back.
“If this is the case, we can only go elsewhere and gather up some resources!” Xin Wuheng immediately thought of another plan.
Although this place was abundant with precious resources, gathering resources from elsewhere could not compare to directly taking resources from the Giant God Race treasury. Moreover, the resources of this place were biased toward Spacetime Intent, but the Giant God Race needed resources that could quickly improve their raw strength and cultivation. In addition, gathering resources from elsewhere would mean facing many unknown dangers.
“It’s not like there’s no solution,” Zhao Feng suddenly spoke.
Everyone turned to him in shock.
“With our strength, trying to force our way into the Giant God Race treasury truly is like smashing a rock with an egg, but we can borrow the strength of others!” Zhao Feng voiced his idea.
Ancient God Cheng Yun immediately rolled his eyes. “The Yao Gods of this place all hate outsiders. You’ve seen this yourself. Why would they help us?”
“You’re such an idiot! Don’t you know how to sow discord – borrow the knife of another to commit murder?” Zhao Feng smiled with faint scorn.
Ancient God Cheng Yun’s expression froze. As for the others, they finally understood what Zhao Feng was getting at.
“The black mountain from before also happened to have a group of Yao Gods!” Xin Wuheng understood Zhao Feng’s plan.
“So, you’re saying that we should borrow the strength of the other Yao God group to hold down the Yao God group in the treasury, and then we can use that chance to sneak in and extract the resources?” Ancient God Resplendence was shocked.
Although the plan was great, the slightest error would have the group surrounded by two groups of powerful Yao Gods, dooming them for sure.
“Zhao Feng, you probably have a way, right?” Xin Wuheng guessed. He understood Zhao Feng to be someone who rarely did something he wasn’t confident in.
“Little thieving cat, it’s your turn,” Zhao Feng said to the silver cat on his shoulder.
Just what species is this cat? Xin Wuheng mentally murmured in shock.
The little thieving cat had accompanied Zhao Feng in the Continent Zone as well. He wasn’t able to see through the little thieving cat then, and he was even less able to do so now.
Meow!
The little thieving cat put on a face as if it was reluctantly taking on the job, and then it put on the face of someone with an important mission.
Thwish!
The little thieving cat understood Zhao Feng’s plan. It vanished into the void and slowly began to approach the Giant God Race treasury.
“What a high-level spatial movement technique!” Ancient God Sundermount sighed in wonder.
“That cat doesn’t seem to be affected by this place’s suppression!” Xin Wuheng realized this just now from the little thieving cat’s movements.
Zhao Feng nodded. The little thieving cat truly was not affected by the suppression of this place. This made him rather envious, and it also made him wonder just what it was about this Heaven’s Legacy Cat that made it so special. But it was also because of this point that he had sent out the little thieving cat.
The first phase of the plan was for the little thieving cat to lure out a single Yao God.
Sometime after the little thieving cat had left, Zhao Feng suddenly began to move, and the rest followed.
“Stop there, wild cat!” A savage and ruthless silver tiger was pursuing the little thieving cat.
The silver tiger was only a Rank Eight Yao God, and though it was skilled in Time Intent, the little thieving cat was still running circles around it.
“Good! The little thieving cat has successfully lured out a single Yao God.” Zhao Feng faintly smiled.
Once the silver tiger had gotten far enough from the treasury, Zhao Feng’s party attacked.
“Humans?” The silver tiger seemed to realize something and prepared to flee. After all, it was outnumbered, and one of his enemies was at Rank Nine.
But at this moment, the little thieving cat extended two claws, which exuded a powerful Sealing Intent that sealed the silver tiger’s power.
As it was only a Rank Eight, Zhao Feng’s group quickly caught up to the tiger.
“Restrain it!” Zhao Feng called out.
The members of the Giant God Race surrounded the silver tiger and barraged it with soul attacks.
“Dark Heart Seal!” Zhao Feng’s left eye condensed a lightning seal that branded the tiger.
“Good! The first step is complete,” Zhao Feng called out.
After enslaving the Yao God, Zhao Feng was able to gain a greater understanding of the Yao God group in the treasury.
Zhao Feng used this Yao God to easily lure out two more Yao Gods, one of which was a peak Rank Eight.
Zhao Feng had now enslaved three silver tiger Yao Gods.
“Okay! Now we can incite the other Yao God group.” Zhao Feng smugly smiled.
“What a superb plan!” Ancient God Resplendence praised.
After a little while, Zhao Feng’s group arrived at the massive black mountain. Zhao Feng controlled the three silver tiger Yao Gods to charge in and kill the Yao Gods of the black mountain, even having them declare heroic words of challenge.
At first, the Yao Gods of the black mountain were unmoved, but after the silver tiger Yao Gods had challenged them four times, they were finally enraged and dispatched a powerful Yao God to ask the Yao Gods at the treasury what was going on.
Before they arrived, Zhao Feng had the three silver tiger Yao Gods return to the Giant God Race treasury.
“Big Bro, the Yao Gods of the black mountain injured us and killed our comrade!”
“They even said that they’ll be attacking us soon, calling you a sickly tiger and saying that they would devour us and take our territory!” Zhao Feng had two of the silver tiger Yao Gods vent their grievances to the Yao God leader.
“Outrageous!” The massive tiger, its body covered in strange silver patterns, immediately turned vicious.
A little while later, the Yao God from the black mountain arrived. The silver tiger Yao Gods surrounded and killed it.
The Yao Gods of this place had cruel and ruthless personalities, making it easy to incite discord. The matter quickly intensified, and in less than a month, the two groups of Yao Gods were at war.
The two large Yao God groups battled it out between the black mountain and the treasury.
“You called me a sickly tiger, so let me see just how powerful a fat snake like you is!” The massive silver tiger howled to the heavens and began to battle with an enormous green-and-silver python.
These Yao Gods were both peak Rank Nine, and their battle shook the heavens. Their profound Time Intents made it difficult for bystanders to see their movements, and once one got close, they would enter a world of slow-motion in which movement was difficult.
“Move out!” Zhao Feng called out.
Zhao Feng and Xin Wuheng quickly approached the treasury. Xin Wuheng was the strongest while Zhao Feng was skilled in concealment and could prevent them from being noticed by the Yao Gods left to guard the treasury.
Ancient God Resplendence and the others left, their mission being to wait as reserves. The little thieving cat remained near the battlefield. The moment the Yao Gods seemed to be going back, Zhao Feng would immediately know.
“This way!” Xin Wuheng messaged.
This was a treasury built by the Giant God Race, so he knew its layout and structure extremely well. Through his see-through ability, Zhao Feng realized that this treasury’s layout was exactly like that small map he had seen carved inside the Ancient God Seal.
