Chapter 511: Chapter 375: Astonished God Tripod Reappears_1
With a sense of helplessness in his heart, Ji Xiaozhong thought to himself that Netherworld Ancestor\'s junior brother was nothing special after all.
What were they to do when the God Race attacked in a few days?
After a heavy sigh, Ji Xiaozhong stepped toward Li Cheng, "Supreme Li, I think..."
He had just started speaking when he suddenly froze. The distance between him and Li Cheng was just a few hundred meters, a casual step should have sufficed to reach Li Cheng\'s side, so why had walking a few steps not changed the distance?
Raising an eyebrow, Ji Xiaozhong quickened his pace, but still remained in the same place!
The surrounding Divine Emperors looked at Ji Xiaozhong with odd expressions, "Clan Leader, what are you doing?"
They had all seen Ji Xiaozhong apparently sprinting, yet his body stayed put. Was this some sort of dance?
Ji Xiaozhong stopped in his tracks and glared at them, "What\'s with those looks? You think this is funny?"
"Clan Leader, how did you do that just now? Such an elegant step!"
"Yes, and quite bizarre too!"
Ji Xiaozhong\'s facial muscles twitched as he released his Divine Sense, which unhindered, stretched out tens of billions of li. Immediately afterward, he attempted instantaneous movement.
Everyone clearly saw Ji Xiaozhong vanish in a flash, only to reappear on the spot.
Ji Xiaozhong\'s expression turned to one of astonishment and bewilderment. He had clearly moved instantaneously, so why was he still in the same place?
With confusion and surprise, Ji Xiaozhong tried to move instantaneously with all his might!
The next second, everyone saw Ji Xiaozhong intermittently appear and disappear, flickering in and out of sight.
Eventually, Ji Xiaozhong stopped trying to move instantaneously, his eyes growing wider and wider, "How is this possible?"
With his cultivation, he should be able to reach anywhere within his Divine Sense in an instant, so why was he still stuck in the same place?
There was no doubt that they were within a formation, despite not having detected one!
This was sufficient evidence that the formation Li Cheng had set up had perfectly merged with this expanse of heaven and earth, leaving no trace to be found!
"What do you mean \'how is this possible\'? Clan Leader, what\'s wrong with you?" someone asked.
Regaining his composure, Ji Xiaozhong tried to stay calm, "We\'re trapped!"
This statement made everyone\'s mouths twitch. Trapped?
Who would believe that?
"Those who don\'t believe it can try and see if they can get out," Ji Xiaozhong said.
Everyone swiftly tried to leave, but like Ji Xiaozhong, though they seemed to be running wildly, they remained in the same place.
After trying all sorts of methods, including instantaneous movement, flying, and escape techniques, they were still stuck in place!
The crowd finally showed signs of panic. How could they not understand that they were indeed trapped?
"Such a formidable formation, and this is after the difficulty was decreased?" someone exclaimed in shock.
How could it not be formidable? Despite being unaware of the formation\'s existence, they remained rooted to the spot!
Seconds later, one individual couldn\'t hold back any longer. Surging Divine Power enveloped their body, and they attempted to break free with a step.
But after just a single step, the person bizarrely appeared tens of thousands of li away behind the crowd, their Divine Power dissipated, with countless wounds all over their body!
This scene shocked everyone to the core!
The backlash of the formation, even after it had been toned down, was still horrendously terrifying!
"Supreme Li, we yield. No need for further testing, let\'s just wait for the God Race," a Divine Emperor hastily said.
It was too frightening. That person had simply wrapped themselves in Divine Power in an attempt to break out and had ended up so grievously wounded!
How could anyone endure such a thing?
Li Cheng deactivated the formation without causing the slightest ripple."
"Alright, you can come out now!"
The crowd looked at each other in confusion, there was no disturbance at all. Was it really deactivated?
Or was this just another deception?
With a dry cough, Ji Xiaozhong didn\'t dare use his Divine Power, and cautiously tried to step forward.
Indeed, he was no longer marking time.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly jogged out of the passage area, all heaving long sighs of relief.
"Worthy of being the Supreme in formations, I am truly convinced!" Ji Xiaozhong said with a fist salute.
Li Cheng reactivated the formation, "It\'s activated again. You may enter, but you cannot leave. Remember to instruct your subordinates not to wander about recklessly," he said.
Everyone nodded quickly. Of course, with such a mysterious and powerful formation, who would dare to test their luck?
"Supreme Li, now that the formation has been set up, why don\'t you come to my Phoenix clan? We could provide a warm welcome and it would allow me to show some hospitality," Ji Xiaozhong said.
Li Cheng shook his head, "There\'s no need for the trouble. There are no pressing matters at hand, so I plan on taking a look across the way, and I might as well check out Sky-covering Canyon."
Go across?
The crowd twitched at the thought. That area was a gathering place for strong members of the God Race. Wouldn\'t that be like a sheep walking into a tiger\'s den?
If discovered, it was dubious whether the others could rescue him in time.
After all, Li Cheng was only at the mid-stage of the Divine Emperor\'s Realm in terms of cultivation.
After pondering for a few seconds, Ji Xiaozhong said, "Supreme Li, if you do want to take a look, I could accompany you over there."
"No need, just be at ease!"
Without waiting for Ji Xiaozhong to reply, Li Cheng had already vanished.
Shortly after, Li Cheng crossed the formation and saw the desolate world outside the passage.
"The Sky-covering Canyon side is so desolate? Even the Heaven and Earth Divine Qi is so sparse, how can this be?" Li Cheng observed with focused attention.
Behind him was Sky-covering Canyon, with its thick and majestic presence that made breathing difficult.
Ahead lay the desolate land, with nothing but the breath of strong God Race members in the distance and no other signs of life.
Even though this was part of the expanse of the Divine Realm, cut off by Sky-covering Canyon, the conditions on this side were so dire.
Not far away, several God Race scouts were concealed, their presence melded with the heaven and earth. Such beings would surely be difficult for anyone ordinary to detect, but Li Cheng, whose Divine Soul had reached the verge of a qualitative change, easily spotted them.
