Chapter 182

Chapter 182: Reduced to Nothingness?

At the entrance of the cemetery, a divine beast resembling a qilin, engulfed in ghostly flames, appeared.

It emanated a powerful divine aura, causing the surrounding space to distort slightly upon its arrival.

“Roar!”

Upon entering the cemetery, the Spirit Sovereign seemed to sense the aura of its former master and couldn’t help but unleash a thunderous roar.

This disturbance startled the demigods meditating in the nearby caves, pulling them out of their introspection in shock.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Figures flew out from the caves, gazing at the Spirit Sovereign.

“What’s happening? Why has the Spirit Sovereign come to the cemetery!”

“This morning, I heard screams coming from the garden. Could it be that the Spirit Sovereign has gone mad and is killing people here!”

“Everyone, are you all okay?”

More than ten demigods checked on each other.

It was soon discovered that only the First Demigod and the Tenth Demigod were absent.

“Roar!”

The Spirit Sovereign looked at the group of demigods in the sky and let out another angry roar, startling everyone into retreat.

It was a being stronger than the family head!

Everyone held their breath, carefully tracking the Spirit Sovereign’s movements.

Before long, the Spirit Sovereign appeared outside the Tenth Demigod’s cave.

From within, a man and a woman flew out.

“Who is that man in white?”

“This person’s aura isn’t too strong, but when I tried to probe him, an inexplicable sense of fear arose within me. What could that be?”

“Could it be that the Tenth Sister is secretly meeting someone, and the Spirit Sovereign has come to deal with her?” muttered the Second Demigod.

“Don’t be ridiculous! How could the Tenth Sister do such a thing? Besides, even if she did, why would the Spirit Sovereign care?” another demigod replied.

“Why not? If she were really doing something indecent here, wouldn’t that disgrace our ancestors? The Spirit Sovereign wouldn’t allow it!”

“Not to mention that guy looks really handsome!”

The demigods chattered; it seemed that no matter how divine, they couldn’t escape the gossiping nature of women.

Outside the cave, Chen Ansheng and Jiang Chuyu stood side by side.

Looking at the imposing Spirit Sovereign below, Jiang Chuyu’s expression changed drastically as she said in fright, “Senior, it is our clan’s guardian beast! You must not provoke it; let it go!”

Chen Ansheng smirked; he understood that this beast had certainly been sent by the higher-ups of the Jiang Family. It would not leave without a contest of strength.

Then, Chen Ansheng extended his hand, bending a few fingers back and shouted, “Come here!”

Buzz!

Seeing this, all the demigods were frozen in shock.

Is this fellow out of his mind, daring to provoke the Spirit Sovereign!

He truly doesn’t know how to write the word “death”!

Not only the demigods, but even the high-ranking members of the Jiang Family monitoring the situation were taken aback by Chen Ansheng’s move.

Does he really not fear the Spirit Sovereign’s might at all?

Is he ignorant or truly skilled?

“Roar!”

Having lived for tens of thousands of years, the Spirit Sovereign was already sentient. Provoked in such a way, its beastly blood began to boil.

Boom!

Divine power erupted, sending shockwaves that knocked back the distant demigods.

However, the overwhelming force of the shockwave did not stir any response from Chen Ansheng.

His robes billowed in the wind, and his body stood firm like a divine mountain!

“It wouldn’t be polite not to return the greeting. You beast, let’s see how you take this!”

As the words fell, Chen Ansheng raised his hand and fiercely thrust forward.

A domineering force surged out, pushing through the air towards the Spirit Sovereign.

The Spirit Sovereign lifted its head, baring its teeth, with a fierce glint in its eyes.

Yet, it did not move to evade, seemingly ready to test its strength against Chen Ansheng.

Bang!

The force that burst forth struck the Spirit Sovereign.

The entire cemetery trembled, with the ghostly flames on the Spirit Sovereign’s body exploding, transforming into beams of light that made everyone squint.

“The Spirit Sovereign retreated three zhang!”

“How is that possible! He didn’t even use his divine energy; just creating a gust of wind pushed the Spirit Sovereign back!”

“What kind of power does this person possess to force back a Spirit Sovereign that rivals a Four-Star God King with a mere wave of his hand?”

As the light faded, everyone stared at the two long scratch marks on the obsidian floor, shocked.

In this first clash, it seemed that the man in white had effortlessly gained the upper hand!

This was terrifying.

Then, standing in the wind, Chen Ansheng smiled and shook a finger, saying, “You, cannot.”

Surprisingly, the Spirit Sovereign did not go mad this time; instead, it became eerily quiet.

It lowered its body, like a ferocious tiger lying in wait for an opportune moment to pounce.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, it suddenly lunged forward, leaving behind four large craters filled with spiderweb-like cracks on the obsidian floor, appearing before Chen Ansheng in the blink of an eye.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Spirit Sovereign’s claws rained down rapidly, leaving only afterimages for the onlookers.

To their shock, the man in white did not evade, raising his hand in an unfocused manner, yet managed to block every one of the Spirit Sovereign’s attacks.

Boom!

After hundreds of fruitless attacks, the Spirit Sovereign’s divine power reached its peak, transforming into a true divine beast as it charged at Chen Ansheng.

The wave of divine energy struck, and for the first time, Chen Ansheng was pushed back half a zhang.

“Good!”

Chen Ansheng shouted.

“Perfect timing to test the power of the Celestial Martial Peak I just mastered.”

Then, Chen Ansheng channeled his energy, condensing it in his palm.

Without any flashy moves, Chen Ansheng’s figure pressed down as he struck towards the Spirit Sovereign.

Feeling its dignity shatter today, the Spirit Sovereign would not back down.

It lifted its massive head and pounced fiercely at Chen Ansheng’s palm.

Crack!

The two forces clashed in mid-air, generating a burst of black sparks, and the space shook under the impact, rippling outward.

Puff, puff, puff!

The demigods watching from afar were swept up by the spatial tide, suffering internal injuries and unable to stop bleeding.

In contrast, Jiang Chuyu, who was hiding behind Chen Ansheng, remained completely unharmed.

“The power of this senior is truly unimaginable!”

As Jiang Chuyu stood unscathed, she was left dumbfounded.

After this battle, regardless of whether this senior won or lost, it would not change the fact that his strength rivaled that of a Four-Star God King!

The tremors lasted for more than ten breaths, and as the violent lightning and electricity disappeared, countless fine black fissures in the space healed.

In the air, only the figure in white stood quietly, with no sign of the Spirit Sovereign anywhere.

“Where is the Spirit Sovereign!”

“Could it be that he was annihilated?”

“Heavens, how is that possible!”

Not only were the demigods terrified, but even the higher-ups of the Jiang Family were in a state of extreme fear and shock.

Could the Spirit Sovereign truly have been obliterated by a single strike from him?

This person is invincible!
