"It's not like we'll lose. Forget it …"
With the Dragonbone Divine Spear, Vicious, Ancient Sage Allfire, and Ancient Sage Mo Ling … Even if the other party was a Dimension Shatterer realm expert, it would still be difficult for him to kill them. Since that was the case, what was there to worry about?
His nervous heart calmed down in the blink of an eye. There was no joy or sorrow on his face, making it impossible to tell what he was feeling.
The deity's gaze swept across the two of them, and a moment later, a frown appeared on his forehead. "The two of you used your own blood essence to pray to the heavens. Hand your blood essence to me, and I'll surely be able to determine the authenticity of your blood essence!"
He had thought that he would be able to see through the disguise of a bunch of barbarians with his strength and standing, but who could have thought that he would be unable to see through the disguise at all?
He felt that the two of them were the real deal.
It was impossible for there to be two Sovereign Chen Ling in the world. However, no matter how similar one's disguise was, it was impossible for one's bloodline to be identical, right?
Soon, two droplets of blood essence flew over. Sweeping his Spiritual Perception across them, the confident look on the deity's face turned into one of confusion.
They were identical as well!
What was going on?
Seeing that the deity was examining the droplets of blood essence, Sovereign Chen Ling thought that he had noticed something amiss. "Deity, that fellow impersonated me and deceived the High Envoy.
"Shut up!"
Pah!
The deity slapped Sovereign Chen Ling across the face, causing him to spin several times on the spot.
The other party's face did not even have the ability to discern the other party's identity. Was he courting death by talking nonsense here?
"I …" Clutching his face, Sovereign Chen Ling's body trembled in anger.
"The real Sovereign Chen Ling had to offer a sacrifice to the heavens in order to summon me here. The imposter probably has no idea how many treasures he used and how much he is worth. The two of you, write down the contents and show it to me. If the value is accurate, it's the real deal!"
The deity said after a moment of hesitation.
Since Sovereign Chen Ling had offered a sacrifice to the heavens to heal his injuries and paid a heavy price to summon him, it was likely that he knew the cost of the sacrifice.
"This …"
Sovereign Chen Ling was taken aback for a moment before nodding. "Alright!"
After saying those words, he took out a jade token and inscribed the value of the treasure onto it.
Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before taking out a jade token and writing on it.
He didn't know how to perform the ritual, how to communicate with the heavens, or how much it would cost. It had to be said that this "god" was very smart. Just from this point alone, he was able to grasp the impersonator's weakness.
However, back when Wu Tao had disguised himself as appraiser Wu Tao, he had examined all of the artifacts in the hall. Furthermore, the souls of those who had died in the ritual had been devoured by the Stone of Divine Crusade, and then absorbed by him and his clone. As such, he was able to see the exact number and quality of the souls.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhang Xuan immediately recorded the exact value and quantity on it.
The deity took the jade tokens from the duo and scanned them with his Spiritual Perception. In the next moment, his eyes narrowed as he stared intently at Sovereign Chen Ling, as if he would kill him at any moment.
"Senior …"
An ominous premonition surfaced in Sovereign Chen Ling's heart, but before he could finish his words, the other party's palm had already descended upon him.
"How dare you lie to me? You're courting death …"
Rumble!
Sovereign Chen Ling felt as if the world was collapsing, and his body was sealed in place, making it impossible for him to escape at all. Boundless might burst forth from the other party, threatening to crush him into meat paste.
"No …"
Sovereign Chen Ling did not think that he would really be killed by the deity whom he had paid a huge price to invite down here. He felt so stifled that he nearly fainted on the spot. Roaring furiously, he opened all of his acupoints and drove his zhenqi furiously.
In the blink of an eye, his body had already grown to six zhang tall, and the might of a Blood Reincarnation realm consummation expert burned intensely.
Padah!
The flames finally extinguished, and Sovereign Chen Ling plummeted from the sky, crashing into the center of the capital. The altar collapsed, leaving a massive depression in its wake.
"How powerful …"
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up in astonishment.
From where he was standing, he could clearly see that the deity had not exerted his full strength yet. Even the Blood Reincarnation realm consummation expert Sovereign Chen Ling had not been able to withstand a single strike from him.
Was this the strength of a Dimension Shatterer realm cultivator?
He had thought that with the Dragonbone Divine Spear, Ancient Sage Allfire, and the others, he would have been able to put up a fight against the other party, but at this very moment, he realized that it was impossible.
The gap between them was simply too huge. It was not something that could be overcome with numbers alone.
It was just like how the difference between Ancient Sages and Great Sages lay in their lifeforce rather than numbers.
Zhang Xuan was shocked, but at the same time, he also felt a little doubtful. Could it be that … Sovereign Chen Ling was unaware of the value of the artifact that he had sacrificed? Could it be that he had gotten it right instead?
Otherwise, why would the deity make a move on him?
Zhang Xuan's guess was spot-on. Sovereign Chen Ling was truly on the verge of a mental breakdown.
He had prepared innumerable artifacts and invited nearly all of the reputable appraisers of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, but he was still unable to determine the exact value of the artifact.
Appearance, soul aura, bloodline … Even all of these were impeccable. He felt that he was the real deal, and the other party was the fake.
Hong long!
Sovereign Chen Ling dashed out of the depression with gritted teeth. Wiping away the blood trickling down the corner of his lips, he raised his head, and a powerful aura burst forth from him. His hair stood on end, and an unshakable determination gleamed in his eyes.
"It seems like the deity of the Azure thinks that I am a fake."
"Are you still unwilling to admit it?"
The deity narrowed his eyes as a surge of energy swirled in his palm, ready to burst forth at any moment to reduce Sovereign Chen Ling to dust.
"I can't refute Elder Chen Ling's words. All I can say is that the other party's disguise technique is simply too formidable.
However … "Sovereign Chen Ling took in a deep breath as his face contorted savagely." I am willing to offer my life to the deity and become your servant. I will obey your commands for the rest of my life without any regrets, but he … "
At this point, Sovereign Chen Ling paused for a moment before looking at Zhang Xuan coldly. "Do you dare?"
After saying those words, a droplet of blood essence flew out from Sovereign Chen Ling's glabella and flew toward the deity.
As long as the latter accepted the droplet of blood essence, he would become a servant to the deity.
His life would no longer be in his own hands.
"This fellow …"
Gedeng, Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
It was no wonder that fellow said that Sovereign Chen Yong was not as vicious as him, such that he was willing to give up his life … Zhang Xuan had thought that the other party was referring to the ritual, but who could have thought that the other party had already made up his mind to offer his life to the deity?
It was no wonder the Sovereigns whom he had tried to rope into his faction did not panic at all. It turned out that his greatest trump card was this deity!
By becoming a servant, one would naturally gain a hundred percent trust. As the master, it was only natural for him to help his servant quell the rebellion.
Hula!
The deity raised his finger and drew the droplet of blood essence into his glabella. In the next instant, he had gained control over Sovereign Chen Ling's will and soul, allowing him to kill him with a single thought.
After doing all that, he turned to look at Zhang Xuan, and the calmness in his eyes was replaced by coldness.
Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
