The Origin Immortal Lord was proficient in divination, and all of his prophecies so far had been verified. He had predicted both the third lunar eclipse and the incident in the capital, and he had even left the Nightmare Beast and the Xuanyuan Sword for him.
The Origin Immortal Lord had been dead for a long time, and Wang Chong had not imagined that Luo Supreme would speak his name.
But before Wang Chong could think this over, a thunderous roar of fury came from above.
“You’re seeking death!”
Luo Supreme’s words had seemingly provoked Heaven. In a flash, lightning and thunder exploded, and the lightning and energy in this dimension swept toward Luo Supreme. Heaven had seemingly even forgotten about the nearby Wang Chong.
It seemed that Luo Supreme’s secret was extremely important to Heaven, and he could not allow him to speak it.
“Careful!”
Heaven’s attack had taken Wang Chong completely by surprise.
Bang!
Wang Chong lunged forward, joining his clones in attacking the King of Gods.
But it appeared that Heaven couldn’t care about such things. Luo Supreme’s secret was so important that he seemed determined to shut Luo Supreme’s mouth.
The spacetime laws of the world fiercely shuddered, immense energy instantly engulfing Wang Chong.
“Ah!”
A moment later, two screams could be heard. One was from Luo Supreme, and the other was from Essence Supreme within Heaven’s body.
Struck by Heaven’s frightening energy, Luo Supreme hurtled from the skies like a comet and smashed into the ground.
On the other side, at almost the same moment that Heaven attacked Luo Supreme, Wang Chong and his clones had attacked the King of Gods, their weapons penetrating its shell and stabbing into Essence Supreme’s physical body.
But while Wang Chong moved quickly, someone else moved even more quickly. Plush! A long black shuttle pierced through the god king’s defenses and penetrated through Essence Supreme’s skull. That destructive power instantly obliterated Essence Supreme’s head.
Alpha Supreme?!
Wang Chong was flabbergasted to see this additional figure appear at his side.
The one who had dealt Heaven the fatal blow was none other than the heavily injured Alpha Supreme.
No, it could no longer be called Alpha Supreme.
This was because the real Alpha Supreme had died decades ago. Only one person controlled this body: Luo Supreme.
Wang Chong suddenly understood.
“Nothing will end here! You traitorous rebels! One day, We will exterminate all of you!
“Wang Chong, you can’t run! We will wait for you in the capital!” Heaven’s voice rang out.
The burden on Essence Supreme’s body was immense, and after Wang Chong’s several strikes and Alpha Supreme’s blow to the head, it was finally unable to maintain the King of Gods state. The enormous body began to dissipate, and by the time Heaven was done speaking, the six-armed god king had completely collapsed into wisps of Stellar Energy.
Swish!
Amidst this fog of Stellar Energy, there was a pulse of spacetime energy, and a large pearl jumped out. Wrapping up Essence Supreme’s consciousness and Grand Supreme and Radiance Supreme, it vanished into boundless space.
With Heaven’s cultivation, if he wanted to leave, Wang Chong had no hope of stopping him.
“Let him be!” A voice came from the ground, and in a flash of light, Luo Supreme shot back up from the ground and slowly walked toward Wang Chong.
He waved his palm, releasing from a ritual tool the divine warriors and his two sons, whom he had hidden away when the battle began.
“The two of us have no ability to fight against him in our current state. If we go after him, we only increase the number of variables and increase the number of problems on our hands. Moreover, this is only his avatar. If we don’t find a way to defeat his original body, we will still find it difficult to avoid death!”
He had followed Heaven for so many years that he was very clear on his way of doing things. Heaven was someone who would kill anyone who betrayed him.
“Mm.”
Wang Chong gave a slight nod, but a moment later, as his eyes passed over Luo Supreme, his heart thumped.
“Your body!”
Luo Supreme’s condition was extremely bad, the injury dealt to him by Heaven’s attack far more serious than imagined. The injuries to his body were secondary, as at the Grotto Heaven realm, physical injuries were very easy to heal. What was most serious was that Luo Supreme’s soul was like a guttering candle, about to be extinguished at any moment.
Moreover, Wang Chong could sense an aura of decay and death from Luo Supreme.
This was not an aura that one should be sensing on a Grotto Heaven realm expert.
In truth, Luo Supreme’s situation was extremely similar to the condition Essence Supreme had been in.
“Merely some external injuries!”
Luo Supreme faintly smiled. He knew that Wang Chong could see his condition, but he was confident and relaxed, seemingly not concerned.
“Heaven is truly very powerful, and this body of mine can’t last for very long. But after spending so long in the Celestial God Organization, I managed to learn the essence of Essence Supreme’s reincarnation art. Although I don’t have a means of directly building a Grotto Heaven realm body like Essence Supreme, it is completely possible for me to transfer my soul to the body of a true Grotto Heaven realm expert.”
Luo Supreme shot a glance at the expressionless body of Alpha Supreme.
Wang Chong was taken aback at first, and as he looked back at Luo Supreme, he was rendered speechless.
Old ginger was hotter than new!
He had wondered why Luo Supreme had provoked Heaven, but he now understood.
Old monsters like Luo Supreme who had lived for thousands of years truly weren’t easy to deal with.
Luo Supreme had planned everything out. He had used his physical body to draw Heaven’s attention and expose his weakness, after which he would transfer his soul to Alpha Supreme, which served as his backup body.
This operation was more frightening than it seemed, and he had long ago calculated everything out.
“I was overthinking things.
“Right, Senior mentioned some great secret. What is it?”
Wang Chong knew that something that could make Heaven lose control of himself could not be so simple.
His surroundings fell silent, and Luo Supreme slightly frowned. He glanced at the divine warriors and waved his hand.
“Everyone, withdraw!”
“Yes!”
The divine warriors swiftly withdrew, as did Luo Supreme’s two sons.
Soon, Luo Supreme turned his gaze to Li Xuantu, his meaning obvious.
“No need!”
Wang Chong frowned and instinctively refused.
He was the one who had invited Li Xuantu, and since they were allies, they needed to trust each other. At the very least, he didn’t feel it necessary to keep this matter a secret from him.
But before Wang Chong could finish speaking, Crown Prince Li Xuantu said, “You two talk. I am going to treat my injuries.” He left.
Every person had their secrets. Since Luo Supreme wanted him to leave, this matter clearly only had to do with Wang Chong and was not meant for too many outsiders to know.
Buzz!
Once Li Xuantu was gone, Luo Supreme snapped his fingers, and a transparent, glass-like dome covered the two.
“We can talk now!” Luo Supreme casually said.
“I also don’t know if what I’m telling you is real or fake, but from Heaven’s reaction, I would lean more toward truth.”
Luo Supreme got straight to the point, divulging what he knew.
“You should know that the Origin Immortal Lord was a master of divination.”
“Mm.”
Wang Chong nodded.
Through divination, one could see the future, and the Origin Immortal Lord had mastered this art.
He had even been able to predict when Wang Chong would enter the Origin Immortal Palace in the northwest. Wang Chong held deep respect for him.
“Before the internal problems in the Celestial God Organization, he had already predicted everything. You must understand that for people like us, destiny is a joke. The Origin Immortal Lord’s prophecy at the time was laughed at by everyone, but later on, when everything aligned with his predictions, I became sure that he possessed an ability that we did not.
“After the troubles, I secretly went to find him. He replied with a single sentence: ‘Leave at once or lose your head.’”
“Ah?”
Wang Chong was taken aback by these words. The Sindhu High Priest’s words had given him the impression that Luo Supreme was an ambitious fellow who wanted to set up his own faction, causing him to rebel from the Celestial God Organization. But it appeared from Luo Supreme’s words that there was another story behind this.
“But why would Heaven want to kill you?”
The only person Wang Chong could think of in the Celestial God Organization that could kill Luo Supreme was Heaven.
“Heh, perhaps it was because I was with him for too long and knew too much!”
Luo Supreme’s eyes lost focus as he thought back to the past.
But a moment later, Luo Supreme came back to his senses.
“The Origin Immortal Lord was a master of divination, but what you might not know is that his divination arts were passed down from another person who had lived countless epochs ago. The Origin Immortal Lord merely inherited his teachings, his mission, and his will.
“The Origin Immortal Lord himself said that many of the things he had predicted were not actually predicted by him, but by that person from countless epochs ago,” Luo Supreme sternly said.
“Ah!”
Wang Chong’s heart trembled in shock.
“Not only that, after I rebelled, I went to see the Origin Immortal Lord. He said that this man was probably the person that Heaven feared the most, even more than that Sage Emperor of yours. In addition, this matter is closely connected to what he is doing in the capital,” Luo Supreme said.
