C849 Pretending
To Lin Cheng, he could sense the power of this Half-step Sovereign, but he didn't know how powerful this Half-step Sovereign was before this.
However, there was one thing that he was very clear about. This Half-step Sovereign didn't give him much of a palpitating feeling.
In other words, Lin Cheng did feel the pressure when facing this Half-step Sovereign. He knew that this man's cultivation base should be higher than his. But... It was not to the extent where he was unreachable, to the extent that he did not even have the qualifications to compare himself with an opportunity.
This was simply an excellent opponent - not only could it bring him pressure, it also didn't exceed his limits.
If he encountered a supreme being, then he wouldn't even need to take action, because there was only one result, and that was dying in battle.
However, after this exchange, Lin Cheng had a strange feeling.
He discovered that this Half-step Sovereign's two consecutive attacks didn't pose much of a threat to him. It didn't matter if it was the spiritual sense's attack or the next palm strike, it was the same.
The spiritual sense's attack contained Divine Sense, but it wasn't stronger than Lin Cheng's Divine Sense. Therefore, it was very easy for him to block it.
As for the palm strike just now, it didn't pose too much of a threat to Lin Cheng. Furthermore, given the strength of Lin Cheng's body, even if he stood there without moving, he wouldn't be seriously injured even if he was hit by that palm strike. He might not even suffer any injuries.
This made Lin Cheng feel a little strange.
Could it be that the gap between the Half-step Sovereign and the Supreme Elder wasn't as big as he had imagined?
However, after thinking about it carefully, Lin Cheng rejected this idea. Supreme and Supreme Elders were two completely different realms. They were fundamentally different, so the gap between them was naturally incomparably huge.
Even if this man was only a Half-step Sovereign, it wasn't something that a Supreme Elder could easily defend against. Although there was only a small gap between them, the gap in their combat strength was huge.
This was also the original intention of Lin Cheng's challenge. If there was no gap between them, how could it be considered a challenge?
However, this Half-step Sovereign didn't give him such a feeling. At least until now, Lin Cheng didn't feel like he was challenging someone. He only felt that he was fighting someone who was at the same level as him, and it wasn't an intense battle yet. Instead, it was like a child's play.
Lin Cheng's fighting spirit had already risen. However, the situation that he had expected to be suppressed and almost unable to breathe didn't appear. This made him somewhat annoyed.
This Half-step Sovereign was toying with him!
Almost in an instant, Lin Cheng suddenly remembered the matter of him and Zhu Ziqiao being stopped by Ming Danjing.
At that time, he and Zhu Ziqiao were on the way to escape, but Ming Danjing unexpectedly discovered that Zhu Ziqiao had the constitution of an Innate Spirit Body. She chased after them from behind and then forcefully took Zhu Ziqiao away.
During that process, Lin Cheng was like a fallen leaf in the wind. He could not help it and even refuting Ming Danjing was called treasonous.
And when he tried to keep Zhu Ziqiao, he was played by Ming Danjing's two disciples again and again.
At this moment, he also suspected that this Half-step Sovereign was playing with him. This caused the humiliation that Lin Cheng had gradually forgotten to appear once again.
"Hu!"
Lin Cheng couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm his agitated emotions. After that, he narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the Half-step Sovereign.
Since this man disdained his strength, he would use his own strength to get rid of his opponent's pride and disdain. This was also a type of challenge.
As for being angry from embarrassment, it wouldn't be like this to Lin Cheng. His disposition had already become incomparably firm. If it wasn't for the humiliation Ming Danjing and her two disciples had left for Lin Cheng, it would have been too much. Lin Cheng wouldn't have thought of this.
But now, to Lin Cheng, this challenge was initiated by him. However, his opponent didn't know what he was thinking, nor did he know that he was trying to improve his strength through this challenge. Or, he wanted to verify some of his ideas.
Thus, no matter what kind of attitude the other party had towards him, Lin Cheng wouldn't care too much about it. What he needed to do... He needed to use his Cultivation Level and his combat strength to fight the other party until he became serious. He forced his opponent to put aside any other thoughts and treat this as a challenge.
Therefore, after easily neutralizing the attack, Lin Cheng didn't wait for the Half-step Sovereign to attack. Instead, he took the initiative to attack.
Lin Cheng's strongest combat strength was the moment he attacked.
Since it was a challenge, he naturally had to give it his all. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to his opponent and also irresponsible to him.
Therefore, Lin Cheng's first attack was the Space Rule that could shake the heaven and earth. It was attached to the black Great Spear and merged with the Spear Intent.
At the same time, Lin Cheng's spiritual sense was also like a Great Spear. It rushed towards the Half-step Sovereign. This was after Lin Cheng had become a mighty figure. It wasn't a divine ability, nor was it a combat skill. It was just an attack method of the spiritual sense and Divine Sense that he had found himself.
He had taken his Elemental Spirit as his second self, which was also his clone. Therefore, his spiritual sense and Divine Sense should be the 'Spirit Power' of the Elemental Spirit.
Therefore, his attack at this moment was the Monarch Spear that he was holding in his hand. He struck out with his spear. This spear contained the power of the Space Rule, and it also contained the Spear Intent that he had comprehended in the Tianluo Secret Realm.
This Spear Intent was only a type of battle intent, not a divine ability or a secret technique. Lin Cheng had already understood this point. However, the power of this Will of the Spear was not any weaker than a divine ability or a secret technique. It was incomparably powerful. Lin Cheng realized that this was probably left behind by the supreme being of Ancient Times. That was why it still possessed such terrifying power after being eroded and worn down by countless years.
This was also the reason why he was able to determine the gap between the combat strength of Half-step Sovereign and Great Power Stage.
Lin Cheng's spiritual sense attack was very similar to his physical body.
At the same time, a spear shot out. The spear was formed from spiritual sense. It also contained the power of Space Rule, but the Great Spear formed from his spiritual sense... The tip of the spear was formed from his Divine Sense. This was also one of the ways to use his Divine Sense.
"Bang!"
Lin Cheng attacked.
Two spear intents containing terrifying power shot towards the Half-step Sovereign.
"How dare you!"
The Half-step Sovereign instantly became furious, as if he had never thought that Lin Cheng would dare to attack him. He immediately retaliated.
However, in the next moment, he suddenly cried out in shock, "Why do you also have..."
Boom!
At this moment, Lin Cheng's attack collided violently with the Half-step Sovereign's counterattack. The rules of heaven and earth were stirred, and the collision of the spiritual sense was extremely intense.
However, at this moment, Lin Cheng suddenly frowned. Immediately, his eyes narrowed as he laughed coldly.
This person was not a Half-step Sovereign!
This man hadn't even reached the Half-step Sovereign. Lin Cheng could clearly feel that this man might have only touched the threshold of the Half-step Sovereign, but there was still a long way to go before he broke through.
Lin Cheng couldn't help but sneer when he thought about how this man had called himself his true self. This man really thought of him as a Half-step Sovereign!
At the same time, Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart. He thought that he had encountered a Half-step Sovereign, but he didn't expect it to be the same person. This man was still far away from the Half-step Sovereign, and didn't have the qualifications to challenge him.
If that was the case, he would have to fight with all his might. In any case, this man's strength was considered to be at the top among all the major powers, and he was also the strongest major power Lin Cheng had ever seen.
However, compared to Lin Cheng's disappointment, this man's heart was filled with shock.
Because he had never thought that Lin Cheng would have Divine Sense.
Furthermore, Lin Cheng's divine sense was still so strong. Even he, who had already touched the threshold of the Half-step Sovereign, couldn't compare to Lin Cheng's divine sense.
"Little Brute, how can you have divine sense?!"
The man shouted, "Where did you learn it from?!"
Lin Cheng did not respond at all. Instead, he kept attacking. The Great Spear formed by the Monarch Spear and the spiritual sense in his hand shot out again and again. This made the man not dare to be distracted anymore. He could only defend with all his strength.
Gradually, Lin Cheng understood that this man was not a Half-step Sovereign. He had touched the threshold of a Half-step Sovereign, and the reason why he was like this... It was because this man might have been like the other mighty figures in the long years after becoming a mighty figure. First, he gradually lost the ability to control the rules of heaven and earth. However... Because of a certain opportunity or an opportunity, he once again defeated the rules of Heaven and Earth... And regained control.
As a result, this man's strength had increased by a huge margin. It could even be said that he had advanced by leaps and bounds, and had finally touched the threshold of the Half-step Sovereign.1
Therefore, compared to the almighty experts Lin Cheng had encountered before, this man's strength should be the strongest.
Through the continuous battles, Lin Cheng had a rough understanding of this man's combat strength. Objectively speaking, this man's cultivation base was higher than his. Their combat strength was similar, because Lin Cheng had more than just mastered the Space Rule. Furthermore, he had also comprehended the Rule of Power.
The combined power of these two rules was enough to offset the gap between their cultivation realms.
If this person was really a half-step Almighty, Lin Cheng would have to put his life on the line and carry out a life-and-death battle to temper himself.
But now, Lin Cheng couldn't help but shake his head, feeling disappointed in his heart.
With this man's combat strength, he could naturally temper himself. However, he could only accumulate some combat experience because there wasn't much difference between their combat strength.
Lin Cheng originally wanted to leave, but he didn't want to waste any more time here. But after thinking about it, he realized that this man had come to save Wu Juyuan. He should be a member of the Myriad Sword Sect. Next, he would surely go to the Myriad Sword Sect to settle the score with Zuo Mu. Instead of fighting with this man, he might as well eliminate this man's spirit first. If possible, he might be able to increase the result of the battle.
