Chapter 463: 352
The First Elder removed the restraint and turned to leave.
Li Cheng and Wushuang flew towards Wangchuan Island, and in a blink, only the Fourth Prince was left in the field.
Taking a deep breath, the Fourth Prince looked in the direction where Li Cheng and the other had flown off to, "A bunch of fools, they actually agreed to his three conditions, why not just kill him? As long as the Divine Soul is left behind, one will definitely be able to learn of the bloodline inheritance through soul searching!"
"So what if he\'s the son of Confucius Ancestor, there\'s that old immortal to back things up!"
Muttering to himself, the Fourth Prince\'s figure disappeared without a trace.
Wangchuan Island was five to six times larger than Unrivaled Island, and indeed, as the Fourth Prince had said, resources here were plentiful, and quite a few Divine Medicines grew on the island.
Li Cheng set up the Island Protection Divine Array and once again drove that top-notch Divine Vein deep underground, which immensely improved the cultivation conditions on Wangchuan Island.
"Thank you very much, seeing the Fourth Prince in a towering rage was truly satisfying," Wushuang said with a giggle upon entering Wangchuan Island.
"This island is indeed much better than Unrivaled Island; even setting up the same Divine Array here feels stronger. I\'ll give you the control method for the Divine Array; unless a Divine Emperor arrives, this place will be as solid as a rock," Li Cheng changed the subject.
Wushuang nodded, accepting the gift, and with a wave of her hand and a surge of Divine Power, she collected the buildings that originally belonged to the Fourth Prince. Then, using the Earth Rules, she caused an abundance of trees to grow. In a twinkling, Wangchuan Island had been completely transformed.
Afterward, Wushuang chose the central region of Wangchuan Island and constructed a cave abode, which she described as being close to nature.
Li Cheng then activated the Earth Rules, and in the blink of an eye, a grand hall rose from the ground.
Wushuang pouted slightly, "Remember to call me when you come out of seclusion."
As her voice fell, Wushuang swept into the cave abode and began Refining the Fell Dragon Grass.
Li Cheng also entered the grand hall, placed the Nine Dragons Devouring Sky Tripod in the hall, and plunged into it.
The internal space of the Nine Dragons Devouring Sky Tripod was normally just ten miles across, but to concentrate the rule of Devouring even more, Li Cheng shrunk it to a hundred meters in size, and then began Enlightenment.
Enlightening inside the space of the Tripod was even more effective than when he was at the Three Veins Dragon Clan Holy Land; in just ten years, the rule of Devouring was Complete.
In total, he hadn\'t been on Dragon Island for more than sixty years, yet he had already mastered four Complete Laws. With nine Laws now Complete, Li Cheng had reached the optimal condition to wield the full power of the Extreme Heaven Holy Body.
Li Cheng did not rush out of seclusion but took out a Divine Origin and began Refining the Divine Power within it, striving to increase his Cultivation.
Before long, Li Cheng discovered that combining the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture with the rule of Devouring was like absorbing power from the Divine Origin voraciously, like whales swallowing the sea; his Cultivation began to soar!
His Cultivation, which had dropped to the early stages of the Divine Venerable Realm due to the creation of the Divine World, recovered to the later stages in just four hours and continued to rise.
Two days passed, and one Divine Origin was turned into dust; Li Cheng successfully stepped into the Complete Divine Venerable Realm.
To advance from the Complete Divine Venerable Realm to the Divine Emperor\'s Realm, at least one Complete Law is required. The Complete Law merges with the Divine Child and transforms into Divine Origin.
With nine Laws Complete, Li Cheng needed to merge all nine Laws into the Divine Child, a process that was countless times harder than those Divine Venerables who comprehended a single Law.
However, Li Cheng\'s Divine Body was a combination of the Extreme Heaven Holy Body and the Chaos Yuan Divine Body, which could be referred to as the Chaos Yuan Extreme Heaven Holy Body. The power contained within this special physique was fully realized after the nine Laws were Complete, and it even actively propelled the nine Laws to merge into the Divine Child!
Each of the Laws had 13.9968 billion strands that needed to merge into the Divine Child and become Divine Origin. Naturally, this process was slow, and Li Cheng roughly estimated that it would take at least five hundred years at the least.
Given Li Cheng\'s temperament, he naturally wouldn\'t spend a dry five hundred years in seclusion; thus, he directly came out of it.
"Eh? Someone is breaking the Array?"
As soon as he exited seclusion, Li Cheng sensed irregularities with the Wangchuan Island Divine Array, clearly someone was trying to break through it.
As his divine senses probed out, Li Cheng could clearly see the Fourth Prince sneaking around with an elder, trying to make sense of the great formation. The Fourth Prince\'s face was ashen, and every now and then, he would grind his teeth and glare at the elder.
Eventually, the Fourth Prince seemed unable to hold back any longer and spoke in a deep voice, "Aren\'t you a Level Six Array Divine Master? It\'s been ten years; can\'t you still break this formation?"
This caught Li Cheng off guard. These two had been trying to break the formation for ten years already?
"Your Highness, the person who set up this formation must have astonishing array mastery; this old one truly can\'t find any flaws. How about we find someone more capable?" The elder was very helpless.
Suppressing his anger, the Fourth Prince asked, "Tell me, if we were to forcibly break the formation with strength, how many Divine Venerables like me would be needed?"
The elder pondered for a moment and replied, "If no one is controlling the formation, ten powerhouses like Your Highness should be able to break through. But if someone is controlling the formation, then it\'s not something a Divine Venerable can handle; only a Divine Emperor could."
The Fourth Prince furrowed his brow and muttered to himself, "It seems I\'ll have to lure him out of Wangchuan Island."
Hearing the Fourth Prince\'s muttering, the elder hastily cleared his throat and said, "Your Highness, I\'m truly sorry for being unable to help. I shall take my leave!"
"Scram!"
With the Fourth Prince\'s words barely finished, a gap suddenly opened in the formation before him!
The Fourth Prince and the elder were both startled, and the elder said, "Someone is controlling the formation! If we enter, our death is certain!"
Just then, Li Cheng\'s voice came from the formation, "Fourth Prince, do you want to draw me out of the formation to seize my bloodline inheritance? How about I open up the formation for you, and you\'re welcome to come in and take it!"
With Li Cheng\'s words, the Island Protection Divine Array instantly dissipated!
The Fourth Prince\'s heart tightened. Even if the Island Protection Divine Array was shut down, he dared not proceed!
He wasn\'t foolish; he knew the power of the great formation. If he entered and the formation restarted, he doubted he would even have a chance to escape.
"Your Highness, this person is able to set up such a powerful Divine Array and must be carrying many mighty formations on him, perhaps even etching formations in his eyes. A mere glance could slay a peer in the same realm. You must be extremely cautious!" the elder communicated telepathically.
These words caused the Fourth Prince\'s scalp to tingle even more. Naturally, he knew that fighting an Array Divine Master was extremely dangerous, and Li Cheng was such a formidable Array Divine Master—he couldn\'t afford a brute-force conflict!
Thinking this, the Fourth Prince\'s demeanor returned to calm, and he said lightly, "Divine Master Li might be under a misunderstanding. I have no interest in that bloodline inheritance. My sole reason for coming here was to visit my dear sister."
"What a coward!" Li Cheng said disdainfully.
The Fourth Prince remained calm and replied, "You\'re indeed mistaken, Divine Master Li. I never avoid trouble, but I don\'t cause it either. Should you insist on provoking me, then I won\'t hold back!"
Li Cheng grew even more disdainful. Not causing trouble? What about that incident on Unrivaled Island ten years ago?
"Wangchuan Island is my former residence, and Ao Wushuang is my dear sister. My presence here is entirely normal. Since Divine Master Li is worried that I might harm you, then I shall leave first!" The Fourth Prince added and then turned to leave.
Li Cheng shook his head slightly, "Impressive, turning cowardice into such an art form."
The Fourth Prince paid him no heed and quickened his pace away, although the calm on his face had now been replaced by seething anger.
The elder at his side dared not look at the Fourth Prince directly and transmitted, "Your Highness, this person can surely be invincible in the Divine Venerable Realm by relying on his formation alone, and being the son of the Confucius Ancestor, he must have very powerful means of saving his own life given to him by his father. He\'s untouchable!"
The Fourth Prince was silent, but in his heart, he understood that the elder was correct!
But that was the bloodline inheritance of the Devouring Ancient Dragon! He had to find some way to get it, no matter what!
Ask a Divine Dragon at the Divine Emperor\'s Realm to make a move?
Not suitable. In that case, the other party would surely take the bloodline inheritance for themselves, not just because he was the Fourth Prince.
After much thought, the Fourth Prince felt that the only way was to break through to the Divine Emperor\'s Realm before Li Cheng handed over the bloodline inheritance to the Dragon Clan!
Once he reached the Divine Emperor\'s Realm, he would then be able to disregard Li Cheng\'s formations with ease, kill him, and seize the bloodline inheritance through soul searching!
With this thought, the Fourth Prince took a deep breath, his eyes becoming resolute.
