The Heavenly Lion King stared at Fang Xingjian. This was his final card. If Fang Xingjian were to head to the plains right away, there was no way that the Heavenly Lion King would be able to resist, and he would only be able to passively strive to reach tier six of the Divine level.

Still, he believed that this would also be a threat to Fang Xingjian. Therefore, it would be better for both parties to each take a step back and make peace.

However, he miscalculated Fang Xingjian’s character. There was no way that Fang Xingjian would make compromises with his opponents.

Fang Xingjian’s eyes were emotionless as he said, “Then you can start striving for the Nine-Tiered Heavens.”

The Heavenly Lion King was stunned for a moment, then he burst out laughing. As he looked at Fang Xingjian, his eyes filled with endless feelings of hatred.

“Ruining my cultivation path… From today onward, we will be on irreconcilable terms,” the Heavenly Lion King said coldly. “After I return from striving for tier six of the Divine level, it will be your…”

“You say too much crap.” Fang Xingjian’s gaze flickered and a chaotic array of light came surging forth, instantly wiping out the Heavenly Lion Clone’s last bit of essence.

Concurrently, in the Nine-Tiered Heavens that was located outside of the atmospheric layer and in outer space, the Heavenly Lion King’s true form had a hint of deeply entrenched hatred on his face. Taking a step forward, he disappeared with a flash.

At almost the same instant he disappeared, an extremely majestic and overwhelming power came gushing from across space, bringing forth a series of great explosions in the outer space. It made a path through the cloud layers, and the light that burst out was like the Morning Star, shining in the sky. Almost everyone in the world could see it.

Fang Xingjian, who was in midair, shook his head. He gradually drew back his palm. ‘It’s a pity that I was still one step slower. Since that’s the case, I’ll kill you after you’ve returned.’

Since Fang Xingjian had forced the Heavenly Lion King into the Nine-Tiered Heavens, he could not be bothered to head to the plains anymore. Almost all the Divine level experts in the plains had been killed by Fang Xingjian single-handedly, and he was uninterested in the remaining small fries.

In comparison, the Realm Traversing Guardian King interested him a lot.

Looking at the Realm Traversing Guardian King who was still on his palm, Fang Xingjian asked, “Why? Do you plan on making an enemy out of me as well?”

The Realm Traversing Guardian King no longer had the astonishment he had felt at the very beginning. After all, with the divine art that he grasped, it did not matter how powerful Fang Xingjian was. As long as he had yet to attain a breakthrough to tier six of the Divine level, it would be impossible for Fang Xingjian to be able to really confine the Realm Traversing Guardian King.

When the Realm Traversing Guardian King heard Fang Xingjian’s question, he smiled and said, “Of course not. The Imperial Preceptor should know that there are currently three great influences within the Church today. The factions under the Oceansky Saint and the Phenomenal Saint are the ones who hold a strong hostility toward you.

“However, we are different. I’m in the faction under the Immortality Saint, and we don’t harbor any hostility toward you. We even feel have a certain amount of favorable impression toward you.”

“Oh?” Fang Xingjian did not comment on this but continued to ask, “Then why are the Oceansky Saint and the Phenomenal Saint hostile toward me?”

When the Realm Traversing Guardian King heard Fang Xingjian’s question, he shook his head, let out a bitter laugh, and said, “This is a great secret in the Church.

“Back when the previous Pope disappeared, the three Saints were the last people who saw him. However, the three Saints each had different explanations toward the Pope’s disappearance, and they each felt that they were the next successor to the Pope. This is why the Church has been in internal strife till today.

“And not long after the Pope disappeared, the Phenomenal Saint and Oceansky Saint announced that there were demons who stole a hint of the previous Pope’s remnant will to nurture a demonic fetus, attempting desecration.

“When the demonic fetus comes to life, they would looked exactly the same as the Pope.”

When Fang Xingjian heard this, he frowned. “Do I bear a great resemblance to the previous Pope?”

“You don’t just bear a resemblance,” the Realm Traversing Guardian King said with a sigh. “If it isn’t because your disposition is too different, I might even think that the Pope has been reborn. You might not know this, but the previous Pope held great power and prestige in the Church. The moment the Phenomenal Saint and Oceansky Saint announced the existence of a demonic fetus, many believers and quite a number of the Guardian Kings swore to kill it.
