Chapter 505 Crisis
"Wait!" Lin Fei shouted as soon as he saw the dozen or so people rushing toward the monster.
Others might not be able to truly sense the monster's terror, but Lin Fei could clearly feel it. When the monster appeared before him, even Lin Fei's Investiture of the Gods began to murmur softly, as if foreshadowing danger and urging him to leave quickly.
It's important to understand that the Investiture of the Gods was the core foundation upon which the Nine Heavens Emperor established the ancient Heavenly Court; it was a supreme treasure, rarely matched by any other treasure in the world. Even the Investiture of the Gods issued such a warning, so Lin Fei could only imagine just how terrifying the monster before him truly was.
……
But by the time Lin Fei spoke, it was already too late. The dozen or so people had already charged towards the monster.
"Oh? Zhou Tian Zheng Shen?" The monster looked at the approaching people, seemingly disregarding them completely, and sneered, "You few dare to challenge me?"
As he spoke, the monster raised his hand, and thick black energy surged from it. Like swatting a fly, he slapped the person coming towards him.
The black aura was precisely the power within the Demonic Sect, possessing a powerful restraining effect on cultivators. Moreover, this monster was the core power of the Demonic Sect, formed from a demonic fruit; the demonic power it contained was incomparable to any demonic power anyone had witnessed before.
The demonic power contained within this monster was more than a hundred times more terrifying than the demonic power they had encountered when they sealed the demonic gate.
In just a moment, the black mist enveloped the bodies of the dozen or so people. Their protective spiritual energy was like a piece of paper in front of the black mist; it shattered immediately with the slightest touch.
The dozen or so Zhou Tian Zheng Shen who charged towards the monster didn't even have time to utter a scream before they were completely swallowed by the billowing black mist. In just a moment, they turned to ashes.
But the monster countered with a wave of its hand, and a dozen or so divine tablets emerged from the billowing black mist and floated in front of him.
"Is this the divine position of the Zhou Tian Zheng Shen?" The ghost looked the divine position up and down, clearly quite satisfied. "Not bad, not bad. With this, I can appoint a few obedient fellows to play with! I will also conduct the investiture of the gods and achieve the supreme feat of becoming the Heavenly Emperor!"
……
The monster laughed wildly, but no one dared to stop it. Everyone present was stunned by the monster's power.
The dozen or so people who rushed out, though not the most powerful among the Zhou Tian Zheng Shen (Gods of Heaven), were still genuine Zhou Tian Zheng Shen protected by divine power. Yet, before this monster, they were like ants, easily crushed.
This monster could even kill a Zhou Tian Zheng Shen (a high-ranking deity) with seemingly less effort than swatting a fly! Such immense power was something no one had ever witnessed before. They had never even heard of it, let alone seen it.
Even Lin Fei himself was completely stunned by the power displayed by this monster—the terror this person possessed was absolutely unprecedented in his life. Lin Fei's rational mind clearly told him that he was no match for this guy at all!
At that moment, Lin Fei even felt an urge to run away because of the monster's immense strength.
But Lin Fei could not escape, nor could he escape anywhere. He was the ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and if this monster were to leave the Island of Saints, it would surely wreak havoc on the land of China. Moreover, since this monster was determined to achieve its ambition of becoming the Heavenly Emperor, it would never let Lin Fei go.
Because Lin Fei possesses the most indispensable thing for anyone aspiring to become the Heavenly Emperor—the Investiture of the Gods.
In order to confer titles upon gods and achieve the supreme power of the Heavenly Emperor, in addition to the positions of the Zhou Tian Zheng Shen (righteous gods of the Zhou Tian), the Investiture of the Gods List is also indispensable; otherwise, it is impossible to completely control the Zhou Tian Zheng Shen who have been conferred titles.
As expected, the monster ignored the others and spoke directly to Lin Fei: "Looks like you're all useless fellows. Playing with you is just a waste of my time. Seeing that you've already been appointed to most of the positions of the Zhou Tian Zheng Shen, you must be able to use some of the power of the Investiture of the Gods by now, right? Come on, let me see the power of this Investiture of the Gods!"
Lin Fei knew that all other methods were useless against this monster. Neither the Six Paths Primordial Spirit nor the Zhou Tian Righteous God were a match for this creature. It seemed as if this being was born to utterly exterminate cultivators.
Or rather, the entire Demonic Sect itself was created to exterminate cultivators.
At this moment, Lin Fei could only place his hopes on the legendary Investiture of the Gods, hoping that this treasure, used by the ancient Nine Heavens Emperor to rule all directions and awe all the gods, could work against this monster.
Lin Fei nodded and said, "Alright, then let this monster see the power of the Investiture of the Gods!"
After saying that, Lin Fei suddenly raised his hand, and the Investiture of the Gods appeared in mid-air.
The reason why the Investiture of the Gods can be used to govern all the gods in the heavens is that, in addition to the restriction of the gods by the God-Slaying Whip, the most important thing is that the Investiture of the Gods can simultaneously release the power of all the gods in the heavens who are listed on it.
As long as the holder of the Investiture of the Gods activates it, the Investiture of the Gods itself can draw a portion of power from the divine positions of the gods listed on the list, integrate them together, and then release them.
This power is far greater than that of any single one of the Zhou Tian Zheng Shen (Zhou Tian Righteous Gods). And the more names of the Zhou Tian Zheng Shen recorded on the Investiture of the Gods, the greater the power the Investiture of the Gods can draw upon.
Currently, there are nearly three hundred names of the Zhou Tian Zheng Shen (righteous gods) recorded on the Investiture of the Gods. Aside from those whose original owners were still alive and disappeared, and the more than ten whose divine power was directly annihilated by this monster, Lin Fei can instantly draw a portion of the power from all the remaining names recorded on the Investiture of the Gods simply by activating the Investiture of the Gods.
The combined power of these forces was terrifying, enough to destroy the heavens and the earth. This was Lin Fei's last hope—he hoped to use the combined power of the gods from the Investiture of the Gods to fight against this unprecedented monster.
In mid-air, under Lin Fei's urging, the Investiture of the Gods slowly gathered all the power of the Zhou Tian Zheng Shen recorded on the list.
