Chapter 2016: Hard Strength Slays the Divine Lord

"Roar……"

The earth-shaking roar was like a dragon's breath.

The immense pressure and divine power suddenly crashed over, catching He Pingsheng off guard, and his entire body was blasted flying.

He also understood: this was the divine pet that bastard Tian Guang Divine Lord had released.

A sweep of his Divine Sense revealed the python's cultivation: also at the Divine Lord realm, but the snake's cultivation was lower, only at the third layer.

"Roar……"

The giant python roared again, its body crossing the void, head facing down as it opened its bloody maw and swallowed toward He Pingsheng.

"Nine Suns Converging Heavenly Fire…… Open for me……"

On the other side, that Tian Guang Divine Lord also gathered a divine ability, fiercely blasting it toward He Pingsheng.

Nine 'Suns' flew out in succession.

Each sun was ten zhang in size.

It seems this bastard cultivates fire-attribute Dao arts.

Facing two great attacks from above and from the left, He Pingsheng at this moment could not possibly resist even if he used all his tricks; he could only once again use Void Swift Movement to swap positions.

But the result greatly shocked him.

Although the python's bite struck empty air, those nine 'Suns' actually circled in the void and flew toward He Pingsheng again.

Of course, at this moment, He Pingsheng could still use Void Swift Movement to leave.

But he did not!

Because he also wanted to see his true combat strength.

Void Swift Movement is for saving his life at critical moments; in a fight between equals there is absolutely no need to bring it out for frequent use.

"Shatter for me……" He Pingsheng shouted, a purple-gold glove worn on his left hand, and he slapped a palm toward those nine little suns.

Divine Ability: Great Heavenly Wave Heavy Palm.

Boom——

The void instantly condensed an earth-yellow giant palm imprint hundreds of zhang in size.

The giant palm imprint quickly struck the first little sun.

The first little sun shattered!

Next came the second, the third, the fourth……

All nine great suns turned completely to dust.

Of course, He Pingsheng's giant palm imprint also shattered because of this.

At this time, the divine power inside He Pingsheng's body was already exhausted.

No way around it; the current attack power and combat strength are indeed much stronger, but the problem is that strong combat strength means large consumption.

He Pingsheng's Hongmeng body is not a Hongmeng Divine Personality, so his Divine Personality has not changed, and the divine power stored inside has not changed either.

He hurriedly took out a drop of 【Greedy Spring】 and swallowed it in one gulp, and then another bloody maw dropped down from above his head.

The python struck again.

Bai Yi watched from the side with extreme anxiety, sending a voice transmission saying he wanted to personally make a move.

But he was stopped by He Pingsheng.

That Tian Guang Divine Lord naturally would not miss such a good opportunity either.

In the instant the python swallowed down, he struck again; the azure divine sword in his hand turned into a streak of light, stabbing toward He Pingsheng.

The speed was incomparably fast.

The first time, He Pingsheng didn't even have a chance to defend, but the second time, He Pingsheng had long since kept a back-up move.

"Open……"

In the instant the sword light flew over, He Pingsheng's Five Journey Army Umbrella suddenly opened, horizontally facing Tian Guang Divine Lord.

This flying sword strike was solidly blocked by the Five Journey Army Umbrella.

But blocking one, he couldn't block the second.

Atop his head, the python's bloody maw exhaled hot breath, already descending.

"Roar……" The huge mouth fiercely plunged down, swallowing He Pingsheng into its belly in one gulp.

"Phew……" Tian Guang Divine Lord let out a breath of relief: It's over!

Hahaha……

Excellent!

This big umbrella is actually a sixth-grade divine artifact; from today on it belongs to me.

Today's fortuitous encounter is truly wondrous.

Although I was given a scare by this mere Divine Spirit realm ant, in the end it was a false alarm.

That Tian Guang Divine Lord had just let out a breath of relief, but then sharply saw a throbbing inside the python's belly.

Not good…… this guy is still alive?

Anyone swallowed into my python's belly would inevitably be poisoned and turned into blood water within a short time; why hasn't this bastard died yet?

Just as he thought this, he saw the python's abdomen suddenly split open a wound, and then blood rain flew horizontally, flesh and blood shattering.

A streak of red light flashed past.

The massive Hongmeng Purple Jin Gun burst out of the python's abdomen, smashing a staff strike toward that Tian Guang Divine Lord.

Divine Ability: Heaven-Opening Divine Lotus.

That Tian Guang Divine Lord, in his haste, hadn't found anything to defend with, yet sharply saw He Pingsheng's figure dragging the staff vanish.

The next moment, He Pingsheng instead used a Void Swift Movement teleport to arrive in front of him.

The staff had already landed on his head!

"Damn it..."

"Pfft..."

The Heavenly Light Divine Lord hadn't finished speaking when he perfectly absorbed the impact of the Hongmeng Purple Jin Gun with his body.

The immense force blasted his body three hundred zhang away.

A spray of blood rained across the void.

What shocked He Pingsheng was that this bastard hadn't even died?

Divine Lord realm—truly too tough.

"Stop him..." the Heavenly Light Divine Lord gasped, breath fading.

That Wu Dabao could only leap forward, blocking in front of He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng was also helpless.

This was decided by the rules of heaven and earth.

"Move aside..." He Pingsheng looked at Wu Dabao: "I'll kill him, and you'll be free!"

"No!" Wu Dabao wept, tears streaming: "Kill me instead, don't touch the Divine Lord!"

"I don't want freedom, please, Fellow Daoist He, don't kill the Divine Lord!"

"Wuuu..."

He Pingsheng couldn't be bothered with his nonsense, directly using Void Swift Movement to flash past.

A yellow earth-colored hundred-zhang handprint, carrying overwhelming force, boomed—smashing hard onto the Heavenly Light Divine Lord's body.

This time, there was no accident.

The Heavenly Light Divine Lord's entire body shattered into fragments!

A flash of golden light passed—the Heavenly Light Divine Lord's soul escaped, about to seize the chance to flee.

But He Pingsheng coldly snorted, a purple-red divine nail flying out from his sea of consciousness with a swish!

Pfft...

The Heavenly Light Divine Lord's soul also vanished completely.

"Ah... pfft..." Not far away in the void, Wu Dabao suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The divine slave mark on his body completely shattered.

The rules for divine slaves differ between the Divine Realm and the Immortal Realm.

In the Immortal Realm, the number of slaves one can possess is fixed, not exceeding nine.

And once slaves are taken, it's a bond of life and death.

If the master dies, the slaves die too!

But the Divine Realm is different.

In the Divine Realm, when the master dies, the slave's slave mark automatically dissolves!

Moreover, there is no limit to the number of slaves one can take in the Divine Realm— theoretically, as long as your Divine Sense is strong enough, you can take as many as you wish.

"Roar..."

"Roar roar roar..."

The giant python that He Pingsheng had just split open was still not dead—it was merely injured.

After losing its master, it wailed in agony in the void, crashing wildly in all directions.

"White Wing..." He Pingsheng gave White Wing a glance.

White Wing instantly understood, immediately transforming into its true form and flying into the void, snatching the python in one bite, then finding a mountain peak to land on, pressing the python firmly to the ground and beginning to peck at it bite by bite.

"How do you feel?" He Pingsheng looked at Wu Dabao and asked: "Better?"

Wu Dabao showed an expression of gratitude: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist He!"
