Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 740 - 739: You Need to Overcome

Hmph!

The Blackhead Duck had been in high spirits, but as soon as it came down and saw Chen Pingping, its face twisted into an expression of worried annoyance.

Such a Great Opportunity! Such grand treasure! The Human Sword Immortal of the past had slain great gods, burying so many, so many valuable things.

He had been coveting them for more than just a day or two.

The Earth Chicken pouted his beak but didn't speak...

Chen Pingping rapped him on the head. "What are you thinking? Without me, you'd struggle to even lay eyes on the God Grid."

"God Grid?" The Blackhead Duck's heart skipped a beat. "Where?"

The Earth Chicken also spoke up, "You saw it?"

Both the chicken and duck scanned their surroundings; their eyes fell upon an empty world, devoid of sun and moon, devoid of life itself—only a vast nothingness.

"Where is it?" they both asked, looking towards Chen Pingping.

He chuckled. "Naturally, it's not here."

Without any further ado, Chen Pingping led them deeper, narrating various aspects of the God Grid as they walked.

These spaces were all manifestations of the Four Symbols Array.

The God Grid was suppressed in the center of the Four Symbols Land, and everything within the Great Tomb also lay beneath the God Grid.

As he was explaining this, Chen Pingping suddenly paused. "Where is Li Chaoge?"

The Earth Chicken said nothing.

The Blackhead Duck's eyes darted. "Sister Phoenix said he was too annoying, so she didn't let him in."

"Are you two idiots?" Chen Pingping was exasperated. "Without Li Chaoge, what will we use to suppress the God Grid?"

"Ah? This..."

Looking back, the fissure in the passage they had descended through had already closed. Reopening it would likely be very difficult.

Chen Pingping was fuming!

"No big deal," the Blackhead Duck declared. "It's just one Great Tomb. I, the Emperor, can handle it."

"I feel... even if we brought him in now, it would be pointless," the Earth Chicken said guiltily.

What was done was done; there was no point fretting over it now.

Chen Pingping stopped dwelling on the matter and strode forward towards the Great Tomb, which was also the site where the God Grid was suppressed.

To his horror, it seemed as if the God Grid had begun to awaken.

The displacement of the Xuanwu Area had profoundly affected the Four Symbols Array, so it was understandable that the God Grid would begin to revive as a result.

The Blackhead Duck looked grave.

The Earth Chicken also took a sharp intake of breath.

The God Grid was shrouded in a hazy mist, its entire form radiating a sacred luster. Countless manifestations of Tao, profound mysteries, and the Power of Heaven and Earth swirled around it in layers.

At first glance, it resembled an ancient giant, exuding a suffocating pressure.

Both the Earth Chicken and Chen Pingping quickly looked towards the Blackhead Duck.

The latter observed for a moment before speaking seriously, "Don't panic. It's only in the process of awakening. It won't be quick."

Of course, even as he said this, he felt rather uncertain.

He had been tomb raiding for many years, having plundered the tombs of Great Emperors, Heaven Emperors, and also those of ancient kings, immortal monarchs, victorious Buddhas, and ancient Sages, among other Big Shots. He had also looted the ancestral graves of many major families.

In short, if his achievements were written down, they could fill dozens of thick ancient tomes.

In terms of experience, he was a professional among professionals. In the long eons of cultivation, no one was more expert than him; the Blackhead Duck was, without a doubt, the patriarch of tomb raiding.

But this was the first time he had dealt with anything involving the Heavens and the myriad worlds, the term "god," or this "God Grid" business.

To say he wasn't worried would be a lie. Supreme Mighty Power was truly terrifying. A mere sliver of it could easily destroy this world or annihilate an Emperor Realm expert, let alone him, who was only in the Quasi-Emperor Realm. However, the current situation no longer allowed for retreat. How could a renowned patriarch like him be defeated by mere hardship? He was supposed to forge ahead bravely, overcome all difficulties, and open the Great Tomb before them. That's right! To challenge the impossible was his ultimate aspiration. Besides, weren't there two bastards behind him? If they were to die, they'd die together.

Thinking this, the Blackhead Duck finally felt a bit relieved. With a roll of his eyes, he began to survey the area.

A few minutes later, the more he looked, the more alarmed he became. He inhaled sharply. "The Human Sword Immortal really made a grand fucking play of it! Manifesting the Four Symbols Array, suppressing it with Mighty Power, using the Nine Heavens as the core foundation to forcibly pin down the God Grid here... Fuck!"

"What does that mean?" the Earth Chicken asked.

"He used the flesh and blood of the Four Great Divine Beasts as a vessel and the entire land of the Nine Heavens as the array's eye to set up this Four Symbols Array. So... I get it now! That's why this Great Tomb was placed in Huangzhou! It turns out Huangzhou is the central land of the entire Nine Heavens, a place where all rivers converge. Once this place manifested, it would create a scene of worship from all ten directions," the Blackhead Duck continued, still inhaling sharply.

"Speak plainly!" the Earth Chicken glared at him.

"The Human Sword Immortal did it on purpose," the Blackhead Duck explained. "He didn't want to destroy the God Grid; on the contrary... he wanted the God Grid to persist here."

With this explanation, the Earth Chicken and Chen Pingping immediately understood.

The question then arose: why would an existence like the Human Sword Immortal slay a great god? And why suppress the God Grid here? What could his purpose be?

Chen Pingping spoke up, "Find the path quickly! The Four Symbols Array won't last much longer."

The Blackhead Duck's expression stiffened. "The Sword Immortal's arrangements must have a reason. If we rashly enter, we'll likely meet with disaster." Pausing, he continued, "It's not that I'm not professional enough, but look at the God Grid itself."

It was colossal, its entire form aglow with Divine Brilliance, various power fluctuations converging upon it...

It didn't seem like a being that had been suppressed for many years; on the contrary, it appeared to be growing ever stronger.

Is this normal? If the Human Sword Immortal had wanted to destroy it, he would have acted long ago. Why keep it around, even nurture it?

"So, does that mean we can't enter the Great Tomb?" the Earth Chicken moved closer.

"Difficult!" the Blackhead Duck hesitated. "Unless... the Human Sword Immortal's arrangement is meant to bless all living beings, rather than waiting for a specific person."

For the Sword Immortal to slay a god, suppress its God Grid, and then nurture that God Grid—there could only be two purposes: either to bless all living beings or to wait for a descendant to integrate with it.

The Blackhead Duck then said, "This God Grid from a great god of the Divine Clan must be extraordinary, holding some unusual significance. Look at it."

The Tao flowing from it was so dense it was almost tangible.

And if you felt carefully, you could even detect Sword Intent. It was truly astonishing—this must have been left by the Sword Immortal.

"Fuck... this is terrifying," the Blackhead Duck said, awestruck. "The Human Sword Immortal has been dead for so many years, yet his arrangements persist. Let's go, let's go! We can't stay here. The shattering of the Four Symbols Array must also be part of the Sword Immortal's plan. It's one thing if the Divine Clan doesn't make a move. But if they do, they'll surely face calamity. The God Grid is reviving; it's about to be integrated!"

Before the Great Tomb suppressed by the Sword Immortal, this tomb-raiding patriarch, who feared nothing in heaven or earth, now shook his head repeatedly, his expression dazed, filled with awe and trepidation.

The Earth Chicken, however, was unfazed. "Every tomb of a Big Shot has many safeguards set up during burial; they didn't want to be robbed. But you're the professional, aren't you?"

Chen Pingping nodded. "That's right!" Then, grabbing the Blackhead Duck with one hand, he smiled. "You need to overcome this."

"We can bypass the God Grid and enter the Great Tomb directly," the Earth Chicken added. "What do you think?"

"Hey, hey, hey! If you guys are going in, don't drag me along!" the Blackhead Duck exclaimed. "I don't want to die."

Chen Pingping was very direct. He gave him no time to react, forcefully dragging him deeper... As they drew closer, the oppressive aura solidified, heavy as Mount Tai.

But then, strangely, bursts of Divine Brilliance suddenly erupted, like the radiance of the dawning sun, so incredibly dazzling they couldn't open their eyes.

When the Divine Brilliance dispersed, they had vanished from that space.

Before their eyes, the God Grid was gone.
