Chapter 3716: Facing the God King

The God King said disdainfully, "Even if your true self doesn't come, I have a way to find him. Even if you don't tell me the method, I can obtain it through Soul Search. If you cooperate with me, everything is negotiable. But if you oppose me, that's a delusional fantasy."

"Don't think that capturing a few territories gives you the capital to contest the God King's throne. The dynasty's accumulated foundation over the years is beyond your imagination. Don't force me to have to turn hostile with you."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and hundreds of Cave Heaven Realm guards rushed over, surrounding Ye Liuyun and his companions.

Ye Liuyun, seeing the God King employ this tactic, became even more relaxed.

"How about it? How long will it take to exhaust his fortune?" Ye Liuyun asked Little Witch via Slave Seal.

"At least half a day; the God King's fortune is truly overwhelming. Your fortune is far weaker than his, so I reckon you'll have bad luck today!" Little Witch reminded Ye Liuyun.

"You take action; I block him, he won't dare to clash with me, and the other Martial Cultivators are easy to handle."

"If I act, he'll notice. Are you sure you can protect me?" Little Witch glanced at the hundreds of Cave Heaven Realm Martial Cultivators around, fearing Ye Liuyun couldn't shield against so many attacks.

"I'm certain; I can definitely protect you!" Ye Liuyun said confidently.

At that moment, the God King urged him, "Have you decided? Cooperation or rebellion?"

"Hehe, I just don't like being threatened!" Ye Liuyun smiled with the corners of his mouth lifted.

The God King frowned, but before he could speak, he noticed his fortune rapidly draining.

"It's that damned Black Cat!" he immediately realized, because this attack method matched how the Black Cat had attacked him before.

"Since you're courting death, don't blame me!"

The God King let out a cold shout and immediately activated the Time Halo he wore.

Ye Liuyun kept watching his actions; he fed Divine Soul Power into the Time Halo, and the Chaotic Azure Lotus in Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness also activated.

However, he was only defending and did not use Time Power to attack.

The God King also sought a swift victory, using Time Power to freeze time, then extracting the Soul from the Clone Puppet's Sea of Consciousness to eliminate that puppet.

But unexpectedly, after the Time Halo on his neck flashed a dazzling white light, time did not freeze.

Little Witch still stared at him with gray‑blue eyes; his fortune continued to drain, and the people before Ye Liuyun kept breaking the Formation, showing no sign of time stalling.

"What's going on?" Wang Tianqi was momentarily shocked and at a loss.

Instinctively, he fed Divine Soul Power again and activated the Time Halo once more, but the result was the same as before.

"Is the Time Halo broken, or do they have some treasure that can suppress the Time Halo?"

Wang Tianqi couldn't guess the reason for a moment.

But his fortune kept draining. He immediately stepped back, placing his guards in front of him, yet this did not prevent Little Witch from casting a misfortune curse on him.

"Act!"

Wang Tianqi gave the order at once and, with full force, struck a palm at Ye Liuyun.

Wang Tianqi was originally at the Cave Heaven Fifth Layer, but with the God King's fortune empowering him, the palm's power was comparable to Cave Heaven Ninth Layer.

A ring on his hand flashed red, and the palm's force surged again, the overwhelming pressure of the Cultivation realm making Ye Liuyun feel unable to straighten his waist.

The massive True Essence palm, imbued with fortune's Golden Light, pressed down toward Ye Liuyun and his companions' heads.

Ye Liuyun waved his hand; several talismans inscribed to reduce attack power immediately flew toward that palm and exploded upon impact.

The power contained in that palm was indeed somewhat reduced, but its overall might remained.

"That's enough, I'll block it!"

The Clone Puppet stepped forward, a flash of red gemstone light emanating from its arm,

and delivered a full‑force punch at the descending giant palm.

Just as it struck, several fissures opened in the void, from which a few Martial Cultivators rushed out, simultaneously attacking Ye Liuyun.

Zhan Kong waved his hand, flinging a handful of talismans that burst before them. Some talismans immobilized bodies, some reduced attack power, and others unleashed fire, lightning and the like—like a dazzling fireworks display.

Zhan Kong's figure suddenly vanished, reappearing before a Martial Cultivator whose body had been immobilized, and with a single slash he cut off its head.

"Boom, boom, boom…" After a burst of explosive sounds, the ground's tremor subsided back to calm.

Ye Liuyun also stood firm in place, cradling Little Witch, his body shimmering with a set of red battle armor…

Gu Changhong and Qian Meng were both blasted away; though they suffered little, they were knocked into the surrounding Formation and must break it before they can emerge.

Gu Changhong understood the Formation, while Qian Meng could only rely on talismans for survival and to bombard the Formation. Fortunately, each had prepared plenty of talismans, and they could afford to expend them.

Then Zhan Kong succeeded again, another Martial Cultivator's head fell. Yet a few others broke free and retreated back into the void.

The massive hand striking them was shattered by the Clone Puppet. With the strength of a Seventh Layer of Cave Heaven and the ruby amplification, it barely blocked the God King's blow.

Then, attacks from hundreds of Royal Palace guards came forward. Not only were they strong themselves, but they also employed a combined Formation.

Several individuals formed True Essence long spears in the air; although their power didn't reach the Cultivation realm, they were certainly the pinnacle of Cave Heaven Ninth Layer.

The Clone Puppet immediately tossed Evergreen Vine in front, forming a vine barrier before them.

After another burst of booming sound, a few vine tendrils were shattered, but the vine wall before them remained intact.

Ye Liuyun also threw talismans beyond the vines, reinforcing Evergreen Vine's defense and mitigating the attacks.

Wang Tianqi furrowed his brows, surprised that his powerful strike was blocked. Although talismans had previously weakened the attack, the Clone Puppet's punch was certainly not weak.

The Clone Puppet altered its appearance; he didn't recognize who it was, only that its strength was not weak. Without fortune's boost, it certainly wasn't a match.

"This kid has such a strong powerhouse beside him!"

Wang Tianqi, though a bit surprised, wasn't overly shocked. He also knew that Ye Liuyun before him surely still had a trump card unused.

From the void above Ye Liuyun's head came a series of muffled explosions; Zhan Kong fell again, smashing the ground into a humanoid‑sized crater.

But he immediately rose and transmitted to Ye Liuyun, "There are fifteen left in the void!"

Ye Liuyun glanced at Zhan Kong's whole‑body wounds—just scratches, no fatal injuries—but still sent him a transmission, urging him not to overexert himself and to act when the chance returns.

"Boom, boom" two sounds came from the Formation ahead. Gu Changhong and Qian Meng simultaneously broke the Formation and rushed out. However, Qian Meng was rather disheveled, burnt black by flames, though only in appearance.
