Chapter 163: The Mystery of the Vanishing Inheritance Mark!

"How is that possible!?"

"You must be joking with me, right?"

The Goddess of Life revealed a look of astonishment.

The Destruction God King was also stunned: "I wish this were a joke, but it isn't; this is the genuine reality!"

The Goddess of Life wore a grave expression: "Can you find out what exactly happened to this mark before it disappeared?"

"I will try. After all, such a thing is the first of its kind since the God Realm came into existence."

The Destruction God King exhausted all his strength and finally intercepted a small message transmitted before the Destruction Inheritance Mark vanished.

The Destruction Inheritance Mark seemed to have been restrained by something, and then there was nothing more; he passed this message to the Goddess of Life.

"Your Inheritance Mark might have been swallowed by a higher-level god," the Goddess of Life speculated.

"Impossible. In the God Realm, only we Five Great God Kings are the strongest, and I didn't feel any divine aura at all on that human."

"There must be something fishy about this; let's take a look."

The Destruction God King's face darkened. If there really were other gods playing tricks behind the scenes, he would definitely drag them out and teach them a harsh lesson.

Soon, an image of Ma Hongjun appeared before them.

The current Ma Hongjun's aura was extremely powerful, yet he was still a very long way from being a god.

"Do you think it's possible that the Phoenix Goddess took a fancy to him before, and the same problem occurred, which is why the inheritance wasn't completed?"

"Whether it is or isn't, we will know once we go and ask the Phoenix Goddess."

Seeing that Ma Hongjun was unharmed and that nothing unusual was happening, the Destruction God King and the Goddess of Life stopped monitoring and set off directly for the Phoenix God Domain.

The sea was vast and boundless.

Ma Hongjun's figure stood tall within it.

Before him was a massive island.

Of course, compared to the true mainland, it was still far behind.

It was just a sea island.

And it was the renowned Sea God Island!

"Strange, I haven't detected the auras of Tang San and the others along the way, and there is no aura of Tang San here either. Could they not be here?"

Ma Hongjun frowned, revealing a look of confusion.

He descended toward the ground, intending to ask for the truth.

Could this little punk be afraid of his power and have ascended to the God Realm directly after becoming the Sea God? If that were really the case, things would be difficult.

Having lost this Pill of Dual God Positions, who knows how long it would take for him to break through to Level 99! He hoped it wasn't as he suspected.

He did not conceal his aura upon his arrival.

It was immediately discovered by those guarding Sea God Island.

Unfortunately, the Seven Sacred Pillars had already left, and there were no experts left to guard the place. Upon feeling the terrifying aura on Ma Hongjun, everyone understood that the newcomer was no ordinary person and did not dare to approach.

"May I ask what business this lord has coming to my Sea God Island?"

At this moment, an old man walked out.

From the aura radiating from him, one could tell he was an expert at the peak of Eighty-nine Level Spirit Douluo.

Yet in Ma Hongjun's eyes, he was but a weak ant, one that could be easily wiped out with a single glance, without any exaggeration at all.

"I ask you, where is your Sea God Tang San? And where are the Seven Sacred Pillars?"

In this current period, he had already anticipated that Tang San had become a god. Ma Hongjun felt very surprised that there wasn't even a single Title Douluo on this island.

Logically speaking, even if the High Priest Bo Saixi had sacrificed herself and Tang San had become a god, at least those seven Title Douluo should have remained to guard the place, right? But they hadn't.

Therefore, he suspected that something must have happened.

"My lord, they have left. Lord Sea God Tang San took them and headed toward the mainland."

In order not to implicate Sea God Island, the old man spoke up directly.

"Went to the mainland?"

"How many people in total?" Ma Hongjun asked.

"Lord Sea God and his six companions, plus the Seven Sacred Pillars, fourteen people in total."

The old man said.

"I understand."

As soon as Ma Hongjun finished speaking, he vanished from the spot instantly, disappearing in a Phoenix Transformation in the blink of an eye, his speed so fast it left everyone tongue-tied.

He was not a bloodthirsty person, so he did not destroy Sea God Island before leaving.

"Such fast speed!"

"Even Lord Sea God cannot compare!"

"It's very strange; he has no divine aura on him, yet he gives me a sense of energy pressure even more terrifying than Lord Sea God. I hope he is not an enemy."

The old man murmured, looking into the distance with worry.

On the other side, having finished inheriting the Asura God Position, Tang San revealed a long-lost look of confidence and excitement.

"This is the power of the Asura God King; it is truly terrifying!"

"Ma Hongjun, I am coming; accept my wrath!"

"This time, I will overturn both the Spirit Hall and the Phoenix Academy!"

"And I will find your Mutation Supreme Treasure to let my teacher complete his transformation!"

A look of madness flashed in Tang San's eyes as he continued to rush toward the mainland.

Phoenix God Domain.

Watching the arrival of the two God Kings, a deep sense of disgust and hatred flashed in the depths of the Phoenix Goddess's eyes.

However, it was quickly concealed.

"The two God Kings have suddenly graced my humble abode with their presence; I wonder what this young woman can do to help you?" the Phoenix Goddess smiled slightly and asked proactively.

"Phoenix, coming here this time, we only want to confirm one thing."

The Destruction God King spoke.

"What thing?" the Phoenix Goddess was puzzled.

"Have you had contact with this human?" the Goddess of Life used divine power to manifest an image of Ma Hongjun.

Upon seeing it, the Phoenix Goddess's pupils constricted.

Her change in expression was caught by the two, and it seemed their previous guess was very likely true.

"I have had contact; this is the successor I value," the Phoenix Goddess nodded.

"Then why does he not have your Phoenix Inheritance Mark?" the Destruction God King was puzzled.

"I do not know either. I once cast the Phoenix Inheritance Mark upon him twice, wanting him to inherit my Phoenix God Position so I could retire sooner, yet strangely, after the two Phoenix Inheritance Marks entered his body, they disappeared inexplicably."

"So now, I have been observing, wanting to find out the reason behind it."

The Phoenix Goddess also wanted to use the hands of the two God Kings to help herself uncover the truth.

"What! It is actually like this!" The Destruction God King and the Goddess of Life were startled, then revealed grave expressions: "I also selected him before, and like you, I lost my Destruction Inheritance Mark," the Destruction God King said thus.

"What! Even you have taken a fancy to him? Can a God King's Inheritance Mark also disappear inexplicably?"

The Phoenix Goddess was startled upon hearing this.

At the same time, alarm bells rang in her heart.

Her successor had been taken a fancy to by the Destruction God King!

This was not what she wanted to see.

"Then has the Destruction God King found the reason?" the Phoenix Goddess collected her thoughts and asked.

"Not yet. His body is very strange and holds a great secret. We initially suspect that a God Position even more powerful than a God King might be hidden within; our Inheritance Marks disappearing is very likely the work of this. Of course, we have also considered that it might be another deity secretly playing tricks."

"From now on, this human is the focus of our attention."

The Destruction God King shook his head and said.
