It was a fierce beast that emerged from the sea of corpses, without form, its entire body composed of the Power of Death. Rumor has it that it once devoured a God.

Later, it was refined by Jing Shiliu.

Now it is released, intending to strangle Chen Pingping below.

Who would have thought...

In the boundless void, a pair of burning eyes stared intently at the "fierce beast."

In just that moment, the fierce beast shuddered, its body about to step into the channel, was forcibly stopped, and with a roar, it turned to flee.

Everyone: "..."

Divine Clan: "..."

Through the channel, people could see that fierce beast, with an intense concentration of the Power of Death, terrifying beyond measure. If it descended upon Heaven Martial Continent, they couldn't imagine what kind of situation it would be.

Yet no one expected, the fierce beast that had just stepped into the channel, fled directly.

The strong ones of the Divine Clan were also dumbfounded, completely unaware of what had happened.

Only Chen Pingping inadvertently glanced in a certain direction, that was the Ancient Phoenix, this chicken had already awakened all its bloodlines, becoming a true Phoenix.

Bear in mind, the Phoenix lineage has always held the title of Divine Beast.

It almost achieved Divine Enthronement during the Era of Creation.

Damn it...

Jing Shiliu showed anger: "My puppet."

For the first time, such a thing happened, a body controlled by Corpse refining technique could actually defy its master's orders.

He was horrified, no longer caring about the mark of the Investiture of the Gods, and directly ordered the closure of the channel.

...

After the channel closed, the dark clouds hovering above Heaven Martial Continent gradually dissipated, the layers of oppression also vanished.

People breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Qi's injuries eased a lot, as he walked towards Chen Pingping, weakly calling out: "Master."

The world fell silent, everything was hushed.

A catastrophe had come to an end, people felt as if they were dreaming, unable to believe all this was true.

Only by seeing Chen Pingping's figure did they gradually settle down.

Wuji Sect, Chen Pingping.

This one person alone intimidated the Divine Clan's strong ones above the Heavens, he had become so powerful.

Some of the elderly, or cultivators of his generation, were left speechless at this moment.

Every member of Wuji Sect showed an expression of exhilaration.

Nangong Jue regained some color and walked over: "Senior Brother, the mark of the Investiture of the Gods has surfaced, I'm afraid the Divine Clan's strong ones won't give up easily!"

He remained anxious.

The mark of the Investiture of the Gods is exceptionally important to both the Human Clan and the Divine Clan, they naturally wouldn't let it go easily.

This catastrophe may have ended, but what about next time?

It will inevitably be even stronger.

By then, who can resist?

Chen Pingping nodded: "The channel temporarily closed, perhaps because they also know that the mark of the Investiture of the Gods isn't that simple. Next... there are still young talents from the Divine Clan entering through another channel, that's a major issue."

Hm?

Nangong Jue was moved: "Have they come?"

Chen Pingping spoke: "They have, just on the Ancient Road." If he hadn't guessed wrong.

He hoped Xiaoyu, Yue Wuxia, and Chen Shixian could hold up against those guys, at least for a period of time.

Thinking of this, he inspected the mountain, then reached out a large hand.

Although the pressure was broken by Li Qi, within the mountain there was still a terrifying energy, spreading wantonly, making it difficult for Chen Pingping's large hand to penetrate here.

Immediately it was blocked.

He wasn't surprised.

If the mark of the Investiture of the Gods was so easy to obtain, the Divine Clan wouldn't let it go easily.

"It needs a vessel." At this moment, Jiang Ni'er spoke.

"What kind of vessel?" Chen Pingping looked over.

"The mark of the Investiture of the Gods is formless. If Senior Brother wishes to extract it, you must find a vessel."

"For example?"

"A powerful constitution." Jiang Ni'er said solemnly: "However, this kind of constitution hasn't been born for many years, it needs to harmonize with the Heavenly Dao, thus carrying the mark, briefly becoming the mark's vessel."

She paused, without waiting for Chen Pingping to speak, she continued: "Taoist Body, an ancient constitution, this constitution can easily harmonize with the Heavenly Dao, coexisting with all things."

Is that so?

Chen Pingping frowned, thinking carefully, after cultivating for so many years, indeed he hadn't seen a Taoist Body.

A bit troublesome.

Jiang Ni'er added: "I can predict, however... the Taoist Body is hard to predict, because such a constitution isn't within the Heavenly Fortune Tao."

Upon hearing this, Chen Pingping's scalp went numb, quickly shaking his head: "Forget it, I'll think of something else, anyway, the Divine Clan's strong ones can't enter here for the time being."

Indeed!

The Divine Clan brought its own ruin, sealing all channels of Heaven Martial Continent, and now... the hard-won channel was forcibly closed.

Next time when they try to open it again, it won't be that easy! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Woof woof woof!

Hei rushed toward Lao Huang, extremely excited.

Damn!

Lao Huang: "..."

It's really annoyed with this dog, been so since childhood.

Ever since entering the Netherworld, peace was a rarity!

Now it's back, encountering this dog again.

"Chen... Chen," an elderly man with a hunched body walked over, trembling. He came from Central Continent, once... when Chen Pingping and others went to Central Continent to train, he had seen them.

Chen Pingping lifted his head.

The old man, excited, said: "Since the Divine Clan will still descend, please allow me, Chen, to guard here! Although my realm isn't great, my strength might not be... but let me do one last thing for the Human Clan."

"Chen, count me in for protection too. Should the Divine Clan descend, I can delay them a bit, even if it's just a moment."

"Chen, please give me a chance."

"We are already old, our days numbered." Elderly people came out one after another from all directions.

They were very old, etched with the marks of time.

Their eyes were cloudy but... at this moment, their wrinkled faces were full of anticipation.

Indeed, as they said, already old, life running short, they should guard here! If the Divine Clan descends, they could delay them, buying time for the people behind.

Before long, hundreds of figures came out, all staring intently at Chen Pingping.

However...

Chen Pingping shook his head, directly refusing: "I appreciate the good intentions, wanting to do something for the Human Clan is understandable, but the war against the Divine Clan cannot be solved by numbers.

Although this word is cruel, the truth is just that.

Among the strong ones descending from the Divine Clan, the lowest level is the Quasi-Emperor Realm, Emperor Realm is common, and there may even appear Heaven Emperor Realm level.

Facing such a lineup, even if their numbers are greater, it's to no avail!

"Go back to the Heavens!" Chen Pingping sighed: "As for the issue with the Divine Clan, you can come to Wuji Sect to listen. If there are good ideas, you can also propose."

After saying that, he took Jiang Ni'er and left.

Lao Huang followed closely.

Woof woof woof!

Hei followed behind Lao Huang, constantly barking, just like the old days.

The Ancient Phoenix in the shadows sneered: "Even so, dare to cause trouble on Heaven Martial Continent?"

People gradually dispersed, only a few stayed here, hoping to obtain some Great Opportunity from this place, unfortunately... they are destined to be disappointed.
