Chapter 452: Codename: Pangolin

"Then what gives you the right to tell me?"

Li Heng spoke leisurely, a smile appearing on his face.

The Little Golden Dragon and Shaoyang Jun snickered secretly; this was indeed true. Clearly, this person had just been unwilling to tell them anything, only to be beaten into submission by the Honored One's force.

The phantom was stunned upon hearing this, feeling extremely aggrieved in his heart.

But for the sake of his own life, he could only speak helplessly.

"You truly cannot step into the Central Great World; it has already become a forbidden zone. Immortal Gods have fallen there, the Sacred have bled there, and it is occupied by heavy Inauspiciousness. If you go, it will surely invite great disaster."

"You might even bring the Inauspiciousness inside out with you."

He spoke slowly, his tone very peculiar, as if it possessed a kind of magic and strong infectious power, seemingly making one truly envision the tragic scene of Immortal Gods falling and the Sacred bleeding.

"So what if we bring it out? The Heavenly Court is finished anyway, the True Realm is finished; it won't get any worse."

The Little Golden Dragon retorted with a sneer.

"Heh, what do you know, little dragon?"

"The Inauspiciousness occupying the Central Great World and the land of the Heavenly Court possesses extremely strong infectious power and holds Great Terror. If those Immortal Gods hadn't sealed it there before they died, the True Realm wouldn't have just fallen as simply as it did!"

"The True Realm would have exploded directly, subsequently affecting the Great Void!"

The phantom replied with a cold sneer, his words firm and decisive.

The Little Golden Dragon was angry, shocked, and suspicious upon hearing this.

This phantom actually dared to call him a little dragon?

And was what he said true or not? Could it really be so terrifying that it could cause the Infinite True Realm to explode and subsequently affect the Great Void?

After hearing the phantom's words, Li Heng did not answer immediately, but instead turned his head to look toward the Central Great World, the land of the Heavenly Court.

He gazed into the distance.

Vaguely, he could see many small worlds, as well as the Heavenly Court Gong Dian complex standing above the Nine Heavens, its aura ethereal, looking like gods and saints; he could not see any trace of decay.

But when he used Source Power to bolster his eyes.

Everything changed.

The small worlds became dilapidated. Looking inward through the gaps, one could see the surging Endless Blood Sea, piles of bones like mountains, with death energy, baleful energy, and yin energy running rampant.

As for those Nine Heavens Gong Dian that appeared to be the very image of the immortal realm?

At this moment, they had become utterly ruined, with broken walls and shattered pillars; the glazed tiles that once shone with golden light were no longer brilliant, polluted by mottled bloodstains, while cold winds whistled through the halls.

One must know that this was still just gazing from afar, unable to see clearly.

If one were to observe from close range, see the truth, see clearly, and hear distinctly, the situation would likely far exceed what was seen now, being even more ruined and even more desperate.

As for that Inauspiciousness?

Because the distance was too great, he did not observe it.

It was just that, in a vague, trance-like state, as the entire Central Great World and the land of the Heavenly Court appeared within his line of sight, he could faintly perceive a seemingly non-existent black energy constantly steaming within it.

Everyone was stunned by Li Heng's actions.

Could it be that he had already discovered something?

The phantom muttered in his heart.

Although there was no longer the Heavenly Abyss blocking the way here, and one could go to the Central Great World and the land of the Heavenly Court without obstruction.

But after all, this place was still a bit far from the Central Great World, and after the calamity of the Immortal Gods falling and the Heavenly Court toppling, that place was already shrouded in the power of Inauspiciousness, like being in a fog, making it difficult to spy upon.

Could this person really see it?

He did not believe it, and was more inclined to think Li Heng was putting on a brave front.

But the moment he thought of Li Heng's Supernatural Ability...

He felt it might not be impossible after all?

"Honored One, have you discovered something?"

The Little Golden Dragon asked softly.

Li Heng turned his head and spoke calmly.

"I did discover some interesting things."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately looked at the phantom again.

"I will give you one more chance. You know these things, so it seems your background is not simple. Tell me about your background."

The phantom breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

It seemed his life was temporarily saved.

"This Lord, I can speak of my background. But may I ask? Do you have any connection to the Immortal God Heavenly Court?" After hesitating for a moment, he changed his address for Li Heng out of fear and bowed to ask.

"I am not a person of the Immortal God Heavenly Court, you may speak freely."

Li Heng said.

Seemingly because of Li Heng's answer, the phantom appeared to become much more relaxed and cheerful, and he hurriedly spoke.

"Reporting to you, Lord, that little golden dragon said earlier that I have no aura of the Heavenly Court Immortal Gods; that statement is not false at all. After all, I am not a Heavenly Court Immortal God, but an undercover agent who infiltrated the Heavenly Court!"

An undercover agent?!

Everyone's expressions became strange.

"Continue."

Li Heng held back the Little Golden Dragon, who wanted to strike, and said slowly.

"Yes, Lord."

"Back in the Immortal God Era, the Heavenly Court sat in the center, radiating across the Great Void, and even sent many Sacred to wage war in the outer reaches of the Void to expand the Heavenly Court's sphere of influence; I do not know how many races were destroyed."

"I was an undercover agent sent by one of those races."

"Codename: Pangolin!"

Li Heng's expression also became strange.

"This codename seems a bit inconsistent with you. Although your physical body appears powerful, I see that you seem to be a specialist in the Soul Dao, right?"

"Reporting to my lord, as the saying goes, 'what is empty can be made solid, and what is solid can be made empty.' So what if it is inconsistent? This might even lead others to misjudge. My true form, covered in black scales, doesn't it look like a pangolin? It is just that, in secret, I specialize in the Soul Dao."

The pangolin smiled triumphantly.

Li Heng nodded, not dwelling on this point any further.

"Since you are an undercover agent of the Heavenly Court..."

"Then why, after the Heavenly Court shattered and the Immortal Gods fell, did you stay in this Heavenly Abyss, allow your physical body to reject your consciousness, and have your consciousness become connected to the Heavenly Abyss?"

After pondering for a moment, Li Heng spoke to inquire.

The phantom's expression became helpless.

"Back then, the Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court were so powerful; in reality, I couldn't infiltrate the Heavenly Court at all, so I could only hide temporarily beneath the Heavenly Abyss."

"However, this was not necessarily a bad thing."

"Because if I had already infiltrated the Heavenly Court at that time and become one of the Immortal Gods within the Heavenly Court, I would not have been able to escape the calamity of the fall of the Immortal Gods, and I would have directly faced the onslaught of the Disaster."

"Then I would most likely be dead now."

Li Heng was lost in thought as he spoke.

"So that means your connection with the Heavenly Abyss and the massive changes to your physical body were all caused by the onslaught and Pollution of the Disaster?"

"But here is the problem: since you were an undercover agent sent to the Heavenly Court by another race, why did your physical body call me an intruder just now and try to stop us from crossing the Heavenly Abyss?"

"It is easy to understand why you think we would draw out the Ominous and not let us cross the Heavenly Abyss, but what about that physical body with chaotic intelligence?"

The phantom's expression became somewhat helpless.

"That is the crux of the problem."

"The Heavenly Court shattered and the Immortal Gods fell, but that does not mean the Immortal Gods would completely lose all traces. So, look, some Immortal Gods are coming."

He pointed his finger in the direction of the Central Great World. Everyone looked over and discovered that some figures were walking toward them.
