NOVPUBChapter 1304: Chapter 1022: Harvest and Reward_2 Chapter 1304: Chapter 1022: Harvest and Reward_2 Seeing this scene, Nantian Stone’s heart tightened, and he became even more certain of Lin Yun’s status in the eyes of the Heaven God King. Thereupon, he dared not refuse any longer and honestly put away the spatial items that Lin Yun had returned.
“Brother Zhongtang’s strength is not weak among those in the upper echelons of the Divine Realm. How could he have been annihilated by that Dragon? Could it be that the Dragon’s strength has undergone some change?” Just then, the Heaven God King looked towards Nantian Stone and asked again.
Lin Yun also looked towards Nantian Stone. The Brother Zhongtang mentioned by the Heaven God King was indeed the old patriarch of the Stone Clan and the former leader of the Stone God Clan. Lin Yun had seen him before, and his strength was indeed not weak among the upper echelons of the Divine Realm, and unlike the Heaven God King’s array-based powers, his strength was tangible and real.
Even the topmost among the upper echelons of the Divine Realm would find it difficult to annihilate him.
Back then, the twelve zodiac beasts of the Acquired Divine Race were only in the upper echelons of the Divine Realm. Lin Yun wanted to know whether it was the Dragon, along with the other twelve zodiac beasts, who had annihilated Zhongtang Stone, or if the Dragon alone had done it, and what level of strength the Dragon now possessed.
However, it was the Tiger’s words that Lin Yun remembered, the number of individuals at the peak of the Divine Realm in the Acquired Divine Race had already surpassed a hundred. Though he sensed that the Tiger was unlikely lying, he still wanted to confirm with Nantian Stone whether the Dragon’s strength had indeed broken through to the Peak Divine Realm.
“Previously, the words of that Tiger were not wrong. After obtaining a large amount of Divine Realm cultivation resources, more and more powerhouses emerged from the Acquired Divine Race. The number of those at the Peak Divine Realm has already exceeded a hundred. That Dragon broke through to the Peak Divine Realm three hundred and ninety million years ago, and among the twelve zodiac beasts, as many as five have reached the Peak Divine Realm!” Nantian Stone understood the intentions of the Heaven God King and Lin Yun, so he sighed and said.
“The number of Peak Divine Realm individuals in the Acquired Divine Race has actually already surpassed a hundred? And five of the twelve zodiac beasts have broken through to the Peak Divine Realm…” The face of the Heaven God King slightly changed as he drew a sharp intake of breath.
How much time had passed? The strength of the Acquired Divine Race had grown too rapidly. In terms of the Peak Divine Realm numbers alone, they had already far surpassed the original Innate Divine Race. Perhaps, in overall strength as well!
The potential of the Acquired Divine Race was evident. As time passed, they would grow stronger and stronger, and even at an accelerating pace. Their Innate counterparts had limited potential and talent, and once they reached a certain level, advancing even a step further would be extremely difficult.
Now, with the rise of the Acquired Divine Race and the decline of the Innate Divine Race, leaving only a small number of the latter, how could the Innate Divine Race compete with the Acquired Divine Race? How could they have any hope of rising again?
With such thoughts in mind, the expression of the Heaven God King grew even heavier.
“By the way, what about the Soul Devouring God Monarch of the Acquired Divine Race? What is his strength like now?” Just then, the Heaven God King suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Nantian Stone again and asked.
The Soul Devouring God Monarch was the one from the Acquired Divine Race who had severely wounded him and massacred many of his clansmen.
“The Soul Devouring God Monarch broke through to the Peak Divine Realm as early as four hundred and thirty million years ago. Because of his strange attacking and cultivation methods, even among those at the Peak Divine Realm, he ranks in the forefront!” Nantian Stone thought for a moment and said.
Towards the end of his statement, Nantian Stone looked at the Heaven God King with some trepidation because he remembered that it was the Soul Devouring God Monarch’s attack that led to the rumors of the Heaven God King’s fall.
Now, although the power of the Heaven God King was not weak, it was obvious that he had not recovered from his severe injuries. Coupled with his mastery of arrays, his strength might not even reach the caliber of the upper echelons of the Divine Realm, let alone compare to the Peak Divine Realm’s Soul Devouring God Monarch.
It could be said that unless a miracle occurred, it wouldn’t be easy for the Heaven God King to have his revenge.
However, a thought crossed Nantian Stone’s mind.
He looked towards Lin Yun.
This young man’s strength was very formidable. As only a mid-level Divine Realm practitioner, he could display a power close to that of the Peak Divine Realm. Should he break through to the upper echelons or even the Peak Divine Realm, his strength would certainly be terrifying.
Thus, if this young man were to take action, there might be a possibility in the future to aid the Heaven God King in achieving his vengeance.
“I never expected him to break through to the Peak Divine Realm so early…” Indeed, upon hearing Nantian Stone’s words, Heaven God King looked displeased, his teeth clenched as he spoke.
He wanted to take revenge personally, which had become difficult, but… since he was following the Crown Prince, there was still hope for the future. He already knew about Lin Yun condensing the legendary nine-pattern Godhood.
Now, as the Crown Prince was also part of the Acquired Divine Race and had condensed the nine-pattern Godhood, his innate potential was not less than those of the Acquired Divine Race. In fact, none of the Acquired Divine Race might compare to the Crown Prince.
Moreover, with the Netherworld occupied by the Crown Prince as support, and countless Divine Realm Ghost Practitioners as backup, their Innate Divine Race might have the potential to counterattack the Acquired Divine Race’s empire in the future.
With these thoughts, his mood settled down considerably.
“Heaven God King, billions of years ago, there was news of your demise, and everyone was very upset. Unexpectedly, Heaven God King, you are actually fine. If I convey this news back, Blue Lotus God Monarch will be extremely delighted, and it will also bring great encouragement to our Innate Divine Race…” Seemingly trying to divert Heaven God King’s attention, Nantian Stone quickly said as he looked at him.
“Have you sent any information out from here?” However, before he could finish, Lin Yun interrupted, frowning as he asked.
At that moment, Lin Yun finally remembered the sensation that might threaten him and the Bloodslaughter Universe: it was the issue of Nantian Stone and Tiger Sheep sending messages.
He couldn’t control Tiger and Sheep, and since their threat had been the greatest earlier on, he had been closely monitoring them. Plus, Tiger and Sheep had been on the upper hand before entering the Bloodslaughter Universe, and he hadn’t sensed them sending out messages. Thus, it was quite possible Tiger and Sheep hadn’t relayed any information.
But for Nantian Stone, it was a different story; he had been constantly escaping, desperately needing support, and it was uncertain whether he had sent out messages.
Previously, Zhong Stone merely mentioned that the base of the Innate Divine Race was not fixed, and they couldn’t send messages to the mightier ones among their race. However, it was unlikely that the base hadn’t provided a way for its members to contact others.
It was probably troublesome.
Especially since Nantian Stone was from the higher echelons of the Divine Realm and the chief of the Stone Clan; he was even more likely to have such a way in his possession.
Even if they didn’t have a method to contact the stronger members of the Innate Divine Race, might they have a way to contact the weaker ones? Reporting level by level, point by point, they could possibly have sent their information out.
“I… before I entered the Bloodslaughter Universe, I did send out a message that I was being hunted by Tiger Sheep. As for the information after we entered the Bloodslaughter Universe, I haven’t had the chance to send it out yet!” Nantian Stone’s face flushed with color as he spoke.
In fact, it wasn’t that he hadn’t had the chance to send it out but that he tried and failed. Clearly, the formations within the Bloodslaughter Universe had a function to prevent outgoing communications.
“Then I’d ask you not to send any information about this place, and as for Tiger Sheep, if you can claim the credit for slaying them, you’re welcome to do so!” Lin Yun nodded slightly as he spoke.
“How can this be? Tiger Sheep were slain by two seniors; how can I privately take the credit…” Nantian Stone said anxiously.
“Let it be so!” Lin Yun waved his hand authoritatively and said, then thinking of something, he firmly added, “Right, what I just said was you can’t send any information from here to anyone, that includes Blue Lotus God Monarch!”
“Are you suspecting Blue Lotus God Monarch… If so, there’s really no need. Since the great war between the Innate and Acquired Divine Races, Blue Lotus God Monarch has been organizing the remaining Innate Divine Race to resist the Acquired Divine Race. It has been billions of years…” Nantian Stone wasn’t a fool, and upon hearing Lin Yun’s words, he suddenly realized, then his face reddened some more as he eagerly tried to explain. 𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝒎
“Alright, Nantian, just do as Lin friend says. We don’t distrust Blue Lotus God Monarch; the truth is that Lin friend’s identity must not be revealed at this time; we’re not yet at the stage to disclose it!” It was at this point that Heaven God King shook his head, saying this.
