King of Creation
Chapter 1364: Chapter 1349: Lodging an Imperial Complaint
The dark thunder, swirling with multicolored lights, crashed down from above. Before even reaching him, its terrifying pressure caused a mysterious tremor in Heh Shen’s Spirit Palace Mystic Hall, making the circulation of both his Divine Soul Power and Spiritual Power sluggish.
Heh Shen was greatly shocked!
As the Wind Patrol Envoy under the most dangerous, complex, and chaotic Western Patrol of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty’s jurisdiction, Heh Shen had vast experience.
Decades ago, he was fortunate enough to witness this Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder. Just one strike had left a Realm King near death on the spot. Since then, his fear of the Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder had been etched into his bones!
Heh Shen’s gaze at Ye Zhen was now filled with extreme terror.
To be honest, they had a complete dossier on Ye Zhen, the Personal Guard Captain, with a comprehensive evaluation of his combat power.
Ye Zhen’s combat power is cunning and versatile. If given the opportunity, he could even slay someone at the Ninth Stage of Divine Communication Realm. His frontal combat strength could directly confront an early-stage Divine Communication Realm Martial Artist.
Moreover, according to the secret archives of the Heavenly Patrol Department, Princess Changle was the focal point, having gained a mysterious legacy from the Barbarian Clan. In their view, Princess Changle’s survival after falling into the Demon Clan’s territory was due to the legacy’s power and a bit of luck.
As for Ye Zhen, they completely overlooked him, considering him only a secondary character.
But now Heh Shen knew he was wrong, and extremely so.
This Ye Zhen was likely the main reason Princess Changle could survive the Demon Domain and return. If they had known sooner, they would have undoubtedly summoned forbidden military armory, like the Sky-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Crossbow, or used covert assassination methods to eliminate Ye Zhen.
Unfortunately, it’s too late to say anything now.
The most important thing now is to stay alive!
Heh Shen let out a desperate roar, driving away the terror in his heart. He grabbed the necks of two subordinates nearby, and with a burst of force, hurled them toward the Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder crashing down upon him.
Meanwhile, he himself darted out like lightning!
Almost simultaneously, his two subordinates were reduced to charcoal by that mass of small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder.
That first strike of the Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder seemed to have sounded the charge, as countless dark thunders swirling with multicolored lights started to cover the entire Marquis Haiyuan’s Mansion.
While Heh Shen was fleeing for his life, an ominous premonition engulfed his heart. Amidst the rumble of thunder, another Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder crashed down from the sky onto him.
Instinctively, Heh Shen reached out towards a nearby subordinate, intending to use his Shadow Spy’s life to buy himself some time to survive.
But at the next moment, Heh Shen’s eyes widened in complete shock as another Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder, swirling with multicolored lights, appeared abruptly before him.
Desperate and fleeing for his life, Heh Shen crashed headlong into that sudden mass of Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder like a pig rushing into a wall.
In horror and with screams, talisman and precious lights around Heh Shen simultaneously exploded.
But at the very moment they burst to life, they perished instantly.
All of Heh Shen’s life-saving methods, under the bombardment of the Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder, turned to ash before they could even fully activate.
His flesh instantly turned to ash, and his Innate Divine Soul desperately fled. The moment it escaped, Heh Shen’s screams turned into cries of despair.
Almost all Thunder Element Secret Arts could harm the divine soul, not to mention the extremely advanced Thunder Element Secret Divine Ability of the Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder, which had devastating effects on the divine soul.
Heh Shen’s Innate Divine Soul was directly annihilated by the Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder, swirling with multicolored lights, the moment it tried to escape.
Thus, the Wind Patrol Envoy under the Western Patrol, Heh Shen, disappeared from this world.
Just moments ago, Grand Steward Guo was incredibly proud. Watching this scene, especially when he saw the complete obliteration of Wind Patrol Envoy Heh Shen, he instinctively wiped his eyes, thinking it was an illusion.
That’s right, how could Wind Patrol Envoy Heh Shen, Lord Heh, disappear into thin air? It must be an illusion!
But the next moment, amidst the rumbling thunder, a Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder, swirling with multicolored lights, crashed down, completely enveloping Grand Steward Guo, whose eyes were as wide as saucers.
After a flash of thunder light, Grand Steward Guo vanished completely, leaving only a deep crater and molten rock on the ground.
The sky continued to unleash the Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder. Each mass of the Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder could devour at least one to dozens of the Heavenly Patrol Department’s Shadow Spies.
Regardless of whether their Cultivation Realm was Divine Communication or Dark Palace, they were all killed in one hit!
Initially, due to the strict rules of the Heavenly Patrol Department, even with heavy casualties, none of the Shadow Spies dared to flee for their lives.
It is unknown who first noticed the death of Wind Patrol Envoy Heh Shen and shouted, prompting the remaining Shadow Spies to scatter in panic.
Within a few breaths, over a thousand Shadow Spies under the Western Patrol of the Heavenly Patrol Department had fled.
Meanwhile, the entire Marquis Haiyuan’s Mansion had turned into a scene reminiscent of hell.
However, compared to the hell-like Marquis Haiyuan’s Mansion, Ye Zhen’s situation wasn’t any better.
The first change that occurred was to the Moon Concealing Ghost Grass that had layers upon layers wrapped around Ye Zhen and Princess Changle. In almost an instant, these Moon Concealing Ghost Grass withered away and turned into ashes.
"Father, I might need... to sleep for a while..." After saying this, the Little Demon that had initially occupied Ye Zhen’s entire Yimu Spiritual Pillar instantly retracted into a tree seed the size of a fist, settling silently into Ye Zhen’s Yimu Spiritual Pillar.
Ye Zhen could sense the life fluctuation of the Little Demon. She was still alive, but she had fallen into a slumber due to severe overexertion and depletion of her origin power.
It was just like when she had first entered Ye Zhen’s body, in the state of not yet sprouted.
"Little Demon!"
"Little Demon!"
Ye Zhen anxiously called out twice, his face turning incredibly ashen.
The consumption of the Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder, whether it’s Divine Soul Power or Spiritual Power, was far larger than Ye Zhen had imagined. With Ye Zhen’s own strength, it was virtually impossible to sustain such consumption.
The Little Demon had nearly contributed all her strength. Before Ye Zhen was drained to the point of becoming a lifeless husk, the Little Demon compressed and sent another dose of origin power to Ye Zhen, enabling him to successfully activate the Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder.
"Bastards, those mongrels of the Heavenly Patrol Department’s West Patrol, damn you to the eighteenth generation!" The moment Ye Zhen opened his eyes, he roared angrily.
Although the Little Demon was a Tree Demon and always called Ye Zhen father—a bizarre relationship Ye Zhen had never acknowledged—deep down, Ye Zhen treated the Little Demon as if she were his child, like a daughter.
Now, although the Little Demon was still alive, she had sustained damage to her origin power and fallen into slumber, and Ye Zhen’s anger was understandable.
Ye Zhen’s eyes burned as he stared at the spot where the Wind Patrol Envoy Heh Shen had disappeared, wishing he could drag Heh Shen out again and apply all one hundred eight types of torture on him to relieve his fury.
Ye Zhen’s roars left Princess Changle, who was holding the exhausted Ye Zhen, utterly bewildered.
The current Ye Zhen had completely changed, with high cheekbones and a body as thin as a skeleton, even his Divine Soul aura had weakened to the extreme.
"Brother Ye, Brother Ye, are you... are you alright? Is there anything wrong?"
"Quick, return to Luoyi!"
After these angry words, Ye Zhen closed his eyes and fell into unconsciousness.
What caused the fainting was not just the over-consumption of Spiritual Power, but more importantly, Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Power had nearly depleted.
However, before fainting, Ye Zhen managed to put a High Grade Thought Spirit Pill in his mouth. The unique power of Psychic Spirit in the High Grade Thought Spirit Pill would allow Ye Zhen’s depleted Divine Soul Power to quickly recover.
Otherwise, with Ye Zhen’s current Divine Soul Cultivation, once his Divine Soul Power was exhausted, wanting to awaken after falling asleep would take at least ten days to half a month.
The main reason is that the Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder is too domineering. Under the strike of the Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder, everything turned to ashes. Though terrifying in power, its consumption was more than Ye Zhen could fully withstand.
However, in that previous situation, if Ye Zhen did not use the Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder, he likely would not have escaped.
Seeing the fainted Ye Zhen, Princess Changle paused for a few seconds, then suddenly let out a hysterical scream.
Then, Princess Changle, as if gone mad, hugged Ye Zhen and rushed towards the Ancient Teleportation Formation in Haiyuan City at the fastest speed.
The previous surprise attack by the Dark Department of the Heavenly Patrol Department’s West Patrol, and the descent of the Small Five Elements Mixed Yuan Divine Thunder within the Marquis of Haiyuan, threw the entire Haiyuan City into chaos.
The bewildered commanders of Haiyuan City sealed the city at the first instance, swiftly spread the message outward, and the whole of Haiyuan City was under martial law!
When Princess Changle rushed out of the Marquis of Haiyuan’s Mansion, a large number of troops immediately surrounded her.
"Get lost, all of you get lost!" At this moment, Princess Changle’s face was icy cold, with only one thought in her mind—to return to Luoyi as quickly as possible to save Ye Zhen.
Those soldiers hadn’t yet reacted. According to their thinking, Princess Changle rushing out of the Marquis of Haiyuan’s Mansion at this time, should be a suspect and should be captured.
But before they could act, hundreds of Yin Spirits erupted from behind Princess Changle. As a wave of yin wind swept through, more than two thousand soldiers blocking Princess Changle’s path turned into more than two thousand cold, skeletal frames wrapped in skin.
Princess Changle rampaged forward like a god of death, and anyone who dared to block her path was instantly turned into skeletons by the swipe of the yin wind.
Crashing through all the way, over ten thousand soldiers were killed by the Yin Spirits following behind Princess Changle.
The horrific slaughter enabled Princess Changle to reach the Ancient Teleportation Formation in the shortest amount of time and also increased the number of Yin Spirits behind her to well over a thousand, with more than a dozen exuding a Dark Palace Realm aura.
Fortunately, Princess Changle remained rational.
Upon reaching the Ancient Teleportation Formation in Haiyuan City, Princess Changle immediately activated her Princess Seal, declaring her identity.
"The West Patrol of the Heavenly Patrol Department dared to attempt harm on me and left Brother Ye severely injured and unconscious. I will not let this go, I’m going to file a report to the emperor!"
