King of Creation-Chapter 1628 - 1613: The Heavenly Temple Branch Overflowing with Wealth

Chapter 1628: Chapter 1613: The Heavenly Temple Branch Overflowing with Wealth

Bang!

Just as Ye Zhen cast the Soul-locking Technique and probed a thread of Divine Soul Power into Abbot Zhaoshi’s Innate Divine Soul, a tremendous Divine Soul Wave suddenly erupted from within Zhaoshi’s soul.

In an instant, Abbot Zhaoshi’s Innate Divine Soul was blown to smithereens, and Zhaoshi’s soul scattered, leaving Ye Zhen with nothing.

This unexpected scenario, while unforeseen by Ye Zhen, was also within reason.

Zhaoshi was the abbot of a Heavenly Temple branch; even if not the most key figure, he was still a high-ranking officer, surely privy to some unknown secrets of the temple.

Ye Zhen had long anticipated that Abbot Zhaoshi’s soul might be guarded by a powerful Divine Soul, thus he utilized the Soul-locking Technique obtained from Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou.

In Ye Zhen’s mind, as long as he could control Abbot Zhaoshi’s Innate Divine Soul, then he could extract any secret from Zhaoshi at will.

But Ye Zhen did not expect that as soon as his Divine Soul entered, it triggered the restriction within Abbot Zhaoshi’s Innate Divine Soul, directly turning it to ashes.

What shocked Ye Zhen was that the Soul-locking Technique from Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou was a superior Secret Technique even capable of bypassing the Divine Soul Protection set by Dao Realm experts.

Yet now, it couldn’t bypass the Divine Soul Protection within Abbot Zhaoshi’s Innate Divine Soul.

In other words, the Divine Soul Protection within Abbot Zhaoshi’s Innate Divine Soul was blessed by an existence even more powerful than a Dao Realm expert.

An existence more powerful than a Dao Realm expert is one in the Creation Realm.

And a Creation Realm existence is what mortals and ordinary Martial Artists refer to as a god!

In other words, there is a god in the Heavenly Temple, the kind that can be summoned anytime, a living Creation God!

If a few years ago Ye Zhen had learned this information, he might have barely had any thoughts of opposing the Heavenly Temple, but now, after being hunted by the Demon Clan’s Reverse War God Snake Wa, Ye Zhen has long understood one thing.

The so-called gods are merely Martial Artists with higher cultivation and stronger power!

Just like compared to the Martial Artists on the True Profound Continent, Ye Zhen now is a god, a Heavenly God!

"Search!"

"Leave no survivors!"

As the order was given, Ye Zhen’s brows furrowed while scanning the area, realizing that a rather significant person was missing.

It was Governor Yong Kun!

This Governor Yong Kun personally witnessed the great battle outside the Ancient Teleportation Formation.

Likely knowing the causes and consequences, if he escapes, Ye Zhen would face difficulties in arranging the subsequent plans for this affair.

"Achou, let Black Wolf accompany you while roaming in Shahe City to find Governor Yong Kun’s whereabouts!" Ye Zhen instructed.

The Demon Spirit Phantom War General Black Wolf, brought out from the Ancient Demon God’s Soul Hall, was set by Ye Zhen from the beginning to protect Big Ears, never allowing him to enter.

This extremely rare Ancient Human Bloodline of Big Ears cannot be allowed to be killed, so Ye Zhen specially arranged Black Wolf for his protection!

"Master, no need to search, there are three Martial Artists in the dungeon within the temple, and one of their voices resembles Governor Yong Kun’s very much," Big Ears Nie Ting said.

In the next moment, Ye Zhen spread out his vast Divine Sense like water, covering the entire Shahe City Branch Temple, with the Demon Marshal’s Avatar War Soul Blood Flag hovering above, guarding against anyone attempting to flee. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Purple Spirit, Ling Qianbi, Little Cat, and Nine-Headed Beast have already begun sweeping the temple.

At this moment, Ye Zhen acted with extreme ruthlessness.

All Heavenly Temple members, whether Spirit Masters or ordinary attendants, were slain without exception.

However, the beautiful women and numerous pretty young boys found in various temple buildings were spared by Ye Zhen.

These individuals were merely playthings of the temple’s Divine Masters and Spirit Masters, and in the end, following Ling Qianbi’s suggestion, Ye Zhen used a Secret Technique to erase these ordinary people’s memories of today’s events.

Soon, Governor Yong Kun was brought over by Little Cat, his rear stained with fear when he saw Ye Zhen, having witnessed Abbot Zhaoshi’s corpse.

Facing Ye Zhen’s interrogation, Governor Yong Kun answered every question asked.

Ye Zhen halted after asking some key questions; this Heavenly Temple Branch Temple was not a place to linger, who knows when a Heavenly Temple expert might suddenly arrive.

If one truly shows up, Ye Zhen would be in trouble.

"Alright, release your Divine Soul, and I will ensure you don’t die!" Ye Zhen straightforwardly said to Governor Yong Kun.

This Governor Yong Kun, although not the highest ranking among those Ye Zhen had encountered within the Heavenly Temple, was the most controllable.

As a temple governor, he likely knew most of the temple’s affairs.

Ye Zhen planned to keep him nearby to inquire about the temple’s internal matters when needed.

However, having such a living person around posed great danger, especially if caught by an expert from the Heavenly Temple, as it would serve as undeniable evidence.

Therefore, Ye Zhen planned to only seize his Divine Soul for use.

"I can release the Divine Soul, but my lord, inside my Innate Divine Soul, there is a divine soul protection set by a master. If any other divine soul power invades my Innate Divine Soul, my head will instantly be shattered into pieces!" Governor Yong Kun said bitterly.

"Master, what kind of master?" Ye Zhen asked.

"Grand Divine Master," Governor Yong Kun replied.

"Just a Grand Divine Master, that’s no challenge for me!" As Ye Zhen expected, the Heavenly Temple would only ask a Creation Realm expert to bless the Divine Soul protection for the most important personnel and those involved in core secrets.

For personnel like Governor Yong Kun, having a Grand Divine Master of the Dao Realm as protection is quite good.

A few breaths later, Ye Zhen smoothly used the Soul-locking Technique to control Governor Yong Kun’s Innate Divine Soul, but the next instant, his Innate Divine Soul started wailing in anger and sorrow.

"You... didn’t you say you’d spare my life? Why are you killing me?"

Just now, at the moment the Soul-locking Technique was completed, Ye Zhen casually smacked Governor Yong Kun’s head into pieces with a palm strike.

"Are you dead now? Isn’t your current Innate Divine Soul still perfectly fine?" Ye Zhen said discontentedly.

"But... but..."

"But what? Do you want to have your soul scattered?" Ye Zhen’s eyes widened.

"No, no..." Governor Yong Kun was frightened by Ye Zhen’s ruthless demeanor.

"If not, then stay put!" With a wave of his hand, Ye Zhen applied several layers of sealing and then threw Governor Yong Kun’s Innate Divine Soul into the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

At this time, Ye Zhen and his people had already thoroughly searched inside and outside Shahe City Branch Temple to prevent any stragglers from slipping through. Ye Zhen also carefully checked around underground at the branch temple.

After ensuring no one was missed, Ye Zhen and his party prepared to leave.

As for the people who sought refuge at the Heavenly Temple branch, they had already fled clean at the start of the initial bloody battle.

"My lord, just now, I used my innate divine ability to carefully listen to the entire Shahe City Branch Temple inside and out. I found something unusual inside the branch temple," suddenly Big Ears Nie Ting’s voice sounded again.

"Unusual? Tell me."

"It’s right beneath the Divine Statue of the Sun and Moon Divine Monarch in the subterranean part of the Sun-Moon Temple, about five meters underground. As you walk, there’s a distinct echo there, and it seems hollow. And quite large," Big Ears said.

"Hollow? You mean..." Ye Zhen’s eyebrows furrowed.

"A treasury, that might be the treasury of the Shahe City Branch Temple!" Big Ears Nie Ting said.

"A treasury?"

Ye Zhen’s expression shifted, and he immediately took out the newly sealed Governor Yong Kun, "Tell me, where is the treasure vault of the Shahe City Branch Temple!"

"I truly don’t know, my lord. I know there’s a treasure vault for storing the temple’s assets, but I really don’t know the specific location!" Governor Yong Kun shouted in desperation.

"If you don’t know, then who does?" Ye Zhen asked.

"The Supervisor and the Abbot, only the two of them know the location of the treasury!" Governor Yong Kun said.

"Oh, where is your Shahe City Branch Temple’s Supervisor?" Ye Zhen asked.

Upon hearing, Governor Yong Kun pointed to a corpse sliced into two on the plaza in front of the hall, "That one, killed by you guys."

The temple’s assets are jointly managed by the Supervisor and the Abbot.

A slight smile appeared at Ye Zhen’s lips. The Supervisor’s body, pointed out by Governor Yong Kun, was one of the Realm King Realm experts of Shahe City Branch Temple, killed by Zi Ling with several sword strikes at the battle’s start.

The next instant, Ye Zhen sealed Yong Kun again. His figure flashed as he once more entered the subterranean of the Sun-Moon Temple.

Though the base of the Sun-Moon Temple had Creation Spirit Light restrictions, this time with no host, even if the base’s Creation Spirit Light restriction triggered again and trapped him, Ye Zhen could slowly escape.

The Heavenly Temple was said to be the wealthiest entity on the entire Wilderness Continent, reportedly richer than the Great Zhou Empire.

This time, re-entering the Sun-Moon Temple’s base, Ye Zhen was more cautious. The Origin Mirage Qi of the Ancient Mirage Dragon from the Mirage Dragon Pearl was already enveloping him, always ready to escape.

But this time, it went exceptionally smoothly. Almost reaching the center of the Sun-Moon Temple’s subterranean area, Ye Zhen surprisingly hadn’t triggered any restrictions.

Thinking back to the scenes of triggering the restriction before, Ye Zhen quickly identified the difference and understood the reason.

Last time, he triggered the Creation Spirit Light restriction by using his divine soul power to sense the situation inside the Shahe City Branch Temple.

Ye Zhen could basically conclude that the triggering condition for the subterranean Creation Spirit Light was the releasing of divine soul power.

Thus, although moving slowly, Ye Zhen kept his divine soul power retracted, traversing the base of the Sun-Moon Temple in search of the hollow area Big Ears mentioned.

When he reached a central area of the Sun-Moon Temple’s base, Ye Zhen’s body suddenly felt light, entering an extremely spacious space.

The moment his gaze swept across, Ye Zhen was dumbfounded.

He had no idea how wealthy the Heavenly Temple was, but the Shahe City Branch Temple was indeed overflowing with wealth!
