Chapter 167: Chapter 167
It was the Jade Auspicious Scepter.
Adam was even more confused.
That voice was the Jade Auspicious Scepter? Why does it need to hide in my divine soul?
But in the very next second, the hairs on his entire body stood on end.
An immense, terrifying entity was about to descend.
"Senior, let’s go!"
He had just raised his leg to run when his body became completely immobilized.
Frozen in place, unable to even move his eyeballs.
Lucian was in the exact same state.
Soon, a blinding divine light slowly descended before him.
It was an exceedingly burly man, exceptionally handsome and majestic.
He wore a Phoenix-Feather Divine Crown, and his silver armor gleamed brightly, in his hand, he held a Three-Pointed, Double-Edged Lance.
The man had a third eye between his brows. It radiated divine light, sweeping over Adam and Lucian.
Then, illusory projections appeared in the air.
It was a replay of the battle between Adam’s group and the Imperial Clan, except the image of the Jade Auspicious Scepter had vanished, replaced by an ordinary sword.
Did it run away again?
The man furrowed his brows, displeasure appearing on his handsome face.
After confirming no trace of the Jade Auspicious Scepter, he shattered the projection, and a new portrait shot out from his vertical eye. It was a very ordinary-looking man.
He compared it with Adam and Lucian, upon discovering neither matched, his expression turned even worse.
Adam’s heart leaped in shock, the portrait was exactly the appearance he had transformed into yesterday using the Heavenly Origin Formless Scripture.
This man was looking for him.
But who is this man?!
His strength is terrifying!
Even if Adam used every method at his disposal, the other party could one-shot him with a single thrust of his lance.
Weren’t there restrictions on this heaven and earth? Why could such a powerhouse appear? Has the shackle been completely broken?!
The shock in Lucian’s heart was no less than Adam’s.
Because he recognized this man.
He was the absolute Number One God of War of the Heavenly Court.
Why would he appear here?!
"You killed members of the Imperial Clan. Although I am not close with them, having the Imperial Clan owe me a favor isn’t bad!" the man spoke, his voice brimming with majesty.
With a wave of his hand, he was about to snatch the two of them away.
But suddenly!
A light flashed from within Adam’s robes.
"Hmm?"
With a flick of his finger, a token flew out from Adam’s clothes.
"Oh? You actually have a South Heaven Gate Token. You’re the one who killed the Demonic Sect Master of the Silver Willow dynasty?"
A playful expression appeared on his face, and he undid the confinement on the two of them.
"Yes!" Adam nodded vigilantly.
"True Lord Illustrious Sage!" Lucian cupped his fists in salute.
"Oh? You recognize me? Hmm? So it’s you! You actually reincarnated. Haha, my apologies for the offense, Great Sword Immortal!"
The man revealed a frivolous expression and laughed.
Lucian’s mouth twitched, he didn’t believe a word of it. "True Lord jests, I cannot bear that title!"
"Alright, turns out you’re one of us. By the way, kid, next time you kill a Demon Race member, keep the head intact. Don’t blow it up again, that stuff is valuable!"
The man sneered and collected John’s corpse into his sleeve.
Hmm? What does he mean? Adam’s face was full of confusion.
"I am taking this corpse, you two clean up the rest!"
He returned the token to Adam, shot into the sky, and vanished from the world.
The terrifying suppression disappeared with him.
Adam let out a long breath, he couldn’t even estimate the other party’s realm.
"Senior, who was he? You called him True Lord?"
"He is the Number One God of War of the Heavenly Court, the True Lord of the Marvelous Dao of Pure Source, you can also call him by his more common name, Erlang Shen!"
Adam’s pupils violently contracted, and he gulped hard.
No wonder he felt he had zero chance of winning.
The opponent was actually a Saint.
And not just any Saint, he had achieved sanctification through the flesh thousands of years ago, immortal and indestructible.
In the Mysterious Yellow Great World, records regarding the Heavenly Court were incredibly scarce.
Only fragmented words and minor folktales, specific physical descriptions were practically nonexistent.
Although Adam’s previous life had depictions of Erlang Shen, he had never seen him in person, he hadn’t associated the man with the Heavenly Court at the time, so he didn’t make the connection.
If there had been a dog by his side, he might have recognized him immediately.
Where was the Howling Celestial Dog? Shouldn’t it have been inseparable from him?
"Doesn’t he have a Divine Dog? Why didn’t I see it?" Adam asked.
"I don’t know. I haven’t seen him for thousands of years either!" Lucian shook his head, then suspicion appeared in his eyes.
"Furthermore, his state of being feels quite off. Although he seems even stronger now, the True Lord Illustrious Sage in my memory was a man who, while seemingly arrogant, was actually extremely modest and gentle."
"But just now he gave off the feeling of a cunning and treacherous person."
"With his divine abilities, he should have recognized me at first glance. Yet he still confined me, preparing to hand me over to the Imperial Clan, the True Lord I knew would never have done such a thing."
"If it weren’t for your token, little friend Adam, we might truly have been in trouble."
"I just don’t know why he descended to the mortal realm and came here!" Lucian sighed, his gaze heavy.
Adam’s brows furrowed tightly.
What Lucian said only strengthened his feeling that something had gone terribly wrong with the Heavenly Court.
First, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother’s spiritual treasure descending privately to find him.
Then, the Jade Auspicious Scepter’s anxious behavior just now, and now, the bizarre changes in Erlang Shen.
Everything screamed that something was deeply wrong!
