I Am Really Not The Son of Providence-Chapter 463: How Cunning Could The Old Tortoise Be?
Seeing how the Hell Protector King looked at them in a bantering manner, Wang Shenxu and others had a solemn expression.
The pressure that person released was just too immense, and they could not endure it at all.
Even if the three of them joined hands, they were not the Hell Protector King’s opponents.
Not to mention there were still Evil Spirit cultivators eying them.
In addition, the space here was completely isolated. Thus, Wang Shenxu’s ability to escape, which he took pride in, was useless.
“We are in deep trouble now!” said Wang Shenxu in a serious tone.
He kept on observing the surroundings in an attempt to find a way to escape.
The White Thearch and Yue Yunde were also very anxious. They had tried already, but they could not tear through space at all.
“We’re doomed! It can’t be that I will die at a young age, right!?” Yue Yunde cried out in sorrow. He believed that there was no escape for them.
The White Thearch said, “Kid, what are you afraid of? The Celestial Dynasty’s reinforcements are outside. They will definitely be able to sense the situation here and help us. By then, it’s those Evil Spirit bastards that will die!”
There were also powerful cultivators coming to their assistance in this rescue mission.
It was impossible for those outside not to notice the huge commotion.
When the Celestial Dynasty reinforcements arrived, the tide might even turn as there were even a few Mighty Sages with them!
...
The Hell Protector King scoffed. “I’ve already guessed that the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty would come to spoil my plans, so not only did I bring the Realm Sealing Plate along, but I even set up the Divine Sacrificial Altar.
“If they come, I’ll show them the Divine Sacrificial Altar’s power!”
The Divine Sacrificial Altar was a peerless evil artifact that the Evil Spirit Sect had created through evil cultivation techniques.
The Evil Spirits from the outer realm could enter forcibly by passing through the barrier of the Celestial World thanks to the blood sacrifices.
Sure enough, an ancient sacrificial altar floated behind the Hell Protector King.
The sacrificial altar was pitch-black, and soul-stirring ancient heretical characters were carved on it, emitting dreadful and fearsome aura.
A dark red pool of blood was in the center of the altar. Its stench was pungent and sent shivers down one’s back. There were still corpses within that were being dissolved and devoured, completely disappearing within. The pool was filled with the blood of cultivators from the five regions. They would be sucked dry of their blood, and their corpses would be thrown into the altar to become its nourishment.
There was also a black hole shining with bloody light above the altar, emitting a creepy aura from within. It was as if countless Evil Spirits were absorbing the nutrients and about to appear.
The Hell Protector King’s eyes flickered with a cruel light as he stared straight at the trio with a hideous smile.
“The three of you shall become nourishment for the Divine Sacrificial Altar to provide for Lord Sacred Spirit!
“By then, no matter how many people from the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty come, they’ll all face death!
“This place shall be where you meet your death and aid Lord Sacred Spirit descend upon this land!”
The Hell Protector King was already prepared. He had set up the Blood Sacrifice Array and prepared to sacrifice all the intruders.
The higher the number of blood sacrifices, the stronger the Evil Spirit that descended would be!
The Hell Protector King had already sacrificed over 10 Sages, and with Wang Shenxu and the others’ addition, an Immortal King Evil Spirit would be able to descend.
By then, there would be no need to fear the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty’s reinforcements.
...
The trio’s expressions changed instantly. They could sense the fearsome aura the Divine Sacrificial Altar emitted.
It was a peerless Evil Spirit, and although it had yet to descend, its formidable aura sent shivers down their backs.
It looked like the Evil Spirit Sect was well-prepared to deal with them this time.
The Hell Protector King sneered. “Just obediently be captured without resisting. I might allow you to die a painless death if I’m in a good mood!”
He was sure of his victory and was confident that he could kill Wang Shenxu and the others since the space was sealed. Given the trio’s strength, they were no match for him.
“A mere Evil Spirit infant dares to look down on me? I’ll bite off your head in one mouthful!”
The White Thearch roared, and his bite crushed the void as he stretched out and drew back his tortoise head.
He was in the end an old freak that had lived for 10,000 years, so how could he be frightened by the Hell Protector King?
Since they could not escape, it was better to fight to the death. Even if they died, they could not allow the Evil Spirit race to stay unscathed.
Yue Yunde also shouted, “If you dare to come close to me, I’ll blow you up!”
After finishing, he took out a pile of strange items.
There were peerless Sage Soldiers with an abundance of energy, powerful weapons that were old and worn-out but emitted a fearsome aura, and all kinds of talismans...
When so many treasures appeared at once, an immense aura was emitted, and divine light shone upon the ground.
The White Thearch was stunned as he saw such a scene.
He gulped down his saliva and snorted. “You fatso, you actually hid so many treasures behind my back!”
The White Thearch discovered that he was very familiar with the aura of many of the treasures.
Yue Yunde had hidden most of the treasures when they had gone exploring together.
Yue Yunde said awkwardly, “These are all mine. They’re handed down from my ancestors! Also, didn’t I take them all out?”
Yue Yunde’s heart was bleeding.
‘These are all treasures that I’ve saved up throughout the years, but they’re all going to be used today.
Why am I so unlucky!?
...
The Hell Protector King said in disdain, “Stubborn resistance, explode them if you dare!”
As the Hell Protector King of the Evil Spirit Sect, his strength was definitely astonishing.
Even if Yue Yunde exploded all his treasures and artifacts, it would not be of much threat to him. Instead, it could save him some time.
This place had been sealed off already, so the Divine Sacrificial Altar could absorb the energy of the dead people.
Yue Yunde stomped his feet in anger as he cursed, “F*ck, you really think I don’t dare?”
After finishing, he circulated his power, and the treasures shone with brilliant divine light. Their aura was like turbulent waves that burst out!
A terrifying aura surged out and filled up the whole place as if endless energy was about to erupt,
His intentions were obvious—if they really could not escape today, then he would completely explode those items and perish with those Evil Spirit cultivators together.
Wang Shenxu instantly chickened out.
If so many treasures were to explode, it was unknown if the Hell Protector King would die. On the other hand, the three of them would die without a doubt.
That power was just too frightening—that explosion could even kill a Mighty Sage!
However, the Hell Protector King was just too powerful, and supreme Immortal artifacts were protecting him. It was not that simple to kill him.
Wang Shenxu hurriedly spoke. “Brother Yue, I have already found a way to escape.”
A supreme Immortal artifact sealed this place, and ordinary cultivators could not break through it at all.
However, Wang Shenxu had the Great Void Constitution, so he had an extremely high affinity with void arts. Therefore, he had already found the weakest point in the seal, and he could try to break through it.
However, he would have to pay a huge price.
“What? Why didn’t you say that earlier? All my treasures!”
Yue Yunde was stunned before revealing a face filled with regret. If he had known earlier that they would not die, he would not have taken out all his treasures!
Each of his treasures was priceless and extremely precious!
That was his whole fortune, and now that they had been activated, he could not take it back.
Yue Yunde’s mouth twitched as his heart ached from regret.
The White Thearch also spoke frantically. “Hurry and do it if you have a plan! If you continue to delay, then the three of us are really going to die!”
It was all a lie about perishing together!
If they had a way to leave, who would want to die there?
Only by staying alive could they kill more Evil Spirits.
...
Wang Shenxu gnashed his teeth and said, “F*ck, isn’t it just 90% of my lifespan? I’ll take the risk! I’m going to spend my lifespan and try to break through the seal!”
He instantly gathered his strength within him and emitted endless divine light.
The power of void kept on surging with a formidable aura, and soon a humongous void blade was formed!
At the same time, Wang Shenxu’s hair turned white, and his face was filled with wrinkles. His vitality had dropped to the minimum. He had consumed 90% of his lifespan in one go, so even Wang Shenxu could not take it and became feeble.
However, it was a good thing that the effects were obvious.
The void blade grew larger and larger while its aura became more fearsome and shattered the surrounding space.
The Hell Protector King was astounded. He could sense how frightening that void blade was. Even he might not be able to receive that void blade unscathed.
The Hell Protector King started to fear that power, so he made up his mind to completely kill Wang Shenxu.
That kid is too powerful, and he might actually escape.
“Kill!”
The Hell Protector King roared and ordered the Evil Spirit army to attack.
Instantly, countless Evil Spirits moved forward, and their auras spread throughout the whole space, shaking the ground.
Those hideous Evil Spirits used pitch-black bone spikes and attacked the trio.
Yue Yunde snorted as he spoke. “Since I’ve already activated them, they can’t go to waste! See how I use my ultimate weapon!”
He directly threw a portion of his treasures at the Evil Spirits and directly exploded them.
If he were to explode all of his treasures, then they would die too.
Now that he knew they had a chance to survive, it was impossible for Yue Yunde to perish together!
...
Boom!
A huge explosion echoed as sparks lit up the sky!
Endless energy surged from the explosion, which seemed to be able to shake both heaven and earth.
The huge explosion caught over 10 Heavenly Venerable Evil Spirits in the front and tore them into pieces before they could even scream out in pain.
Even Sage Evil Spirits could not block that explosion, and over 10 of them were instantly annihilated.
A few True Sage Evil Spirits were injured heavily as well, and they retreated while coughing out blood.
The explosion engulfed the Evil Spirit army in an instant!
Yue Yunde glowed with pride and said, “I’m not someone you Evil Spirit infants can look down on!”
He had used up his last resort and unleashed fearsome strength that instantly injured the Evil Spirit army heavily.
At that moment, the Hell Protector King made a move. Formidable evil aura surged within him, which then turned into a fog made of evil aura that filled the sky and enveloped all the Evil Spirits.
At the same time, the remaining Sage Evil Spirits also made a move, stabilizing the array and quickly reducing the impact of the explosion.
The damage was instantly reduced, and the army slowly calmed down.
Yue Yunde’s expression changed. “Old Wang, are you done? If you’re still not done, I’m about to die!”
His treasures could not stop them for long, and once he used them up, the Evil Spirit army would charge and kill them.
With so many Sage Evil Spirits and the Hell Protector King, who could survive!?
Yue Yunde was anxious, so he could only keep on throwing his treasures to stall for time as much as possible.
...
“I’m done. Open up!”
Wang Shenxu’s face was as white as a sheet. He used the void blade and slashed on the space barrier heavily.
Bang!
The earth shook, and the sky trembled!
The space barrier set up by the supreme Immortal artifact, Realm Sealing Plate, finally cracked under Wang Shenxu’s full-out attack.
The trio was overjoyed.
Yue Yunde said, “It’s open. Now we’re saved!”
White Thearch exclaimed, “Kid, you’re quite useful. How about you become my human pet, and I teach you peerless arts?”
Wang Shenxu replied, “I’ll leave you here if you keep spewing nonsense.”
Yue Yunde interjected, “Cut it out. We’ll be trapped if we don’t leave now!”
Seeing how the two of them could argue even at such a moment, Yue Yunde felt resigned.
However, it was a good thing Wang Shenxu did not continue arguing. He wanted to use his mystic arts to escape with both of them.
...
Unfortunately, a figure suddenly appeared from the void crack and just nicely exchanged a look with Wang Shenxu.
Wang Shenxu was instantly stunned. He had even forgotten to activate his mystic technique.
“What are you doing? Why aren’t you leaving!?”
Yue Yunde and the White Thearch urged Wang Shenxu. When they turned their heads, they were also dumbstruck.
“Bro-Brother Shen!? Are you human or ghost?”
Wang Shenxu’s whole body trembled from astonishment, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
That was because the person that appeared in front of them was Shen Tian.
...
After leaving the Spherical Heaven Chessboard, Shen Tian had been wandering in the turbulent void.
The void passageway Immortal King Hun Tian had created was unstable, so even Shen Tian did not know where he was teleported to. He had been moving in the void when he suddenly realized that space was sealed.
Shen Tian had been about to tear through space forcibly to leave when he suddenly saw a crack. Therefore, he did not bother anymore and directly walked out through that crack.
Who would have expected that he would run into the white-haired Wang Shenxu, who looked like he was about to die?
Shen Tian just wanted to say hello as he had met an old friend, but his face darkened once he heard Wang Shenxu’s words.
Huh?
Didn’t I just cultivate in seclusion for 180 years?
Why have I become a ghost?
Is he cursing me to die?
Afterward, the White Thearch and Yue Yunde also shouted, “Ghost!”
They could not help but be dumbfounded as Shen Tian disappeared for too long, particularly in the Supreme Sky Tree World.
Although they knew from Shi Tianzi that Shen Tian had entered the Spherical Heaven Chessboard, he had not appeared for 180 years. As such, how could he still be alive?
No one could stay in the Supreme Sky Tree World for more than 100 years. It was unprecedented.
Therefore, they were scared when they saw Shen Tian.
“It’s definitely an illusion the Evil Spirits are using to deceive us!” shouted Wang Shenxu.
He firmly believed that it was an illusion, so he attacked.
He slashed the void blade toward Shen Tian ferociously.
“Brother Wang, stop fooling around!”
Shen Tian was rendered speechless. He directly destroyed the void blade with his hand.
“F*ck! This monster is vicious! Let’s attack together!”
Wang Shenxu was instantly shocked, so he asked the White Thearch and Yue Yunde to join hands with him.
Shen Tian felt helpless. It seemed like he could not explain clearly, so he did not bother doing so and directly used his Divine Devouring Vines.
The Divine Devouring Vines formed snakes that directly bound Wang Shenxu.
Wang Shenxu was instantly tied up tightly and unable to move. His eyes widened from shock.
The White Thearch and Yue Yunde were also astonished, and they wanted to help save Wang Shenxu.
Unexpectedly, Wang Shenxu was overjoyed and shouted, “It’s Brother Shen, it’s definitely him!”
This familiar sense of binding, there’s no mistake!
“Shen Tian/Junior Brother, you’re really alive!?”
The White Thearch and Yue Yunde stopped once they heard Wang Shenxu, and their eyes betrayed their happiness.
According to rumors, Shen Tian had died. Although they were unwilling to believe it, they had to admit it.
Since Shen Tian had not appeared for a long time, they could not help but feel doubtful.
Shen Tian said, “I cultivated in seclusion for too long, and I realized that 180 years had passed once I woke up!”
Shen Tian was also elated. He never expected to be able to see his old friends once he came out of seclusion.
Yue Yunde originally wanted to reminisce, but he suddenly reacted. “Junior Brother, we’ll catch up later. This place is dangerous, so we should hurry and leave.”
“Old Wang, hurry and send us out!”
This was not a place to talk about the past as the Evil Spirit army was chasing behind him.
If they stayed any longer, they would face death!
Wang Shenxu instantly stiffened. “I-I can’t do it! I can only bring two people out with my strength now.”
He had already calculated properly that he would be able to bring the two of them and teleport 10,000 miles away before he depleted his lifespan.
However, Shen Tian’s appearance increased Wang Shenxu’s pressure greatly.
He had just consumed 90% of his lifespan, so his body was feeble, and there was not enough lifespan to last all three of them.
If he brought another one along, he might die right there and then.
“Then, does that mean one of us will definitely die?”
The White Thearch and Yue Yunde were dumbstruck and at a loss of what to do.
Currently, it was destined that one of them would not be able to leave.
The Evil Spirit army behind them was about to reach them, so they would definitely die if they stayed here.
Wang Shenxu was also troubled. He did not know who to bring now!
Shen Tian had escaped with great difficulty, so he definitely had to leave with Wang Shenxu.
As for the White Thearch and Yue Yunde, they were not bad. They were quite useful to the five regions.
However, as compared to Brother Shen, they paled in comparison.
Therefore, one of them had to sacrifice themselves.
Wang Shenxu looked toward the White Thearch and Yue Yunde. “Could the two of you discuss to see who would be willing to sacrifice yourself and stay?”
There was no other choice. Wang Shengxu and Shen Tian had to leave, so they could only choose one person between Yue Yunde and the White Thearch.
Yue Yunde and the White Thearch’s mouths twitched.
Sacrificing myself? What a load of bullsh*t! I’ll definitely die if I stay here!
The two of them were about to cry!
“Shen Tian/Junior Brother, why did you have to appear here now?”
Although they were happy to see Shen Tian alive, they were not happy now as one of them had to die by staying here!
...
Shen Tian frowned as he listened to the trio’s conversation. He still did not understand just what they were saying.
But soon, he realized something.
It was no wonder that the three of them were so panic-stricken, and even Wang Shenxu had almost spent all his lifespan trying to escape.
It turned out that an Evil Spirit army was chasing them down.
The leader of that army was the Hell Protector King with a fearsome aura.
There were also a few Great Sages, over 10 True Sages, and numerous Heavenly Venerable Evil Spirits.
The power of so many powerful Evil Spirit cultivators was terrifying as they could overturn the whole world.
Shen Tian did not mind at all the powerful Evil Spirit cultivators. He was only slightly curious.
With the appearance of so many Evil Spirits, I bet that the five regions’ calamity had already descended.
I wonder what I missed.
...
Meanwhile, the White Thearch and Yue Yunde felt conflicted.
They also knew how exceptionally talented Shen Tian was, so he would be much more useful than them if he were to escape alive.
Now that the catastrophe had occurred, no one could stay aloof.
Only an absolute top prodigy could save the world.
The White Thearch sighed. “Since this is the case, I’ll stay! I lived for more than 10,000 years, so I’ve already lived enough. The three of you may leave.”
Yue Yunde quivered slightly as if a surge of enthusiasm infected him. “No, I’ll stay! Even if I successfully escape, I won’t be able to live as long as the White Thearch. So, it’s not worth it for me to leave. It’s better for him to leave!”
Yue Yunde’s eyes burned with passion as he spoke righteously.
How could I stay on the sidelines in the face of trouble? At most, I’ll risk my life to stop those Evil Spirit infants!
The White Thearch was stunned. He never expected Yue Yunde to say such words. He thought for a moment and said helplessly, “Don’t waste time dawdling. I’m old enough for you to call me your ancestor. I order you to leave.”
Although the White Thearch said such things, he had other thoughts.
If this fatso suggests to stay again, then I’ll accept the offer. It’ll seem as if he’s great-hearted by saying such words!
Well, how cunning could an old tortoise be?
After all, if one could survive, who would they be willing to die?
There was no choice but to let Shen Tian survive as his influence on the whole situation far surpassed theirs.
However, as for Yue Yunde...
Cough, cough...
There was not much difference with or without him!
...
However, the White Thearch did not expect that Yue Yunde would be of the same line of thinking.
Upon receiving the White Thearch’s order, he said, “Alright! I understand, ancestor. Since you’ve ordered me, I definitely have to listen to you!
“Please rest in peace!
“Next year, I’ll definitely burn the incense stick and hold a memorial service for you!”
The White Thearch, “???”
No way!
No way!!
No way!!!
This damned fatso! Why didn’t he act according to expectation?
Normally, shouldn’t we fight over who should stay repeatedly?
In the end, this fatso just did it once and backed away!?
F*ck!
I fell into his trap!
F*ck! Not one human is good!
