854: C854 Mysterious Means

C854 Mysterious Means

The bowstring trembled and shattered the void.

The terrifying power of the Imperial Bow was fully displayed at this moment.

The trembling bowstring contained a power that could destroy the heavens and earth. No matter how powerful the enemy was, if they encountered such a terrifying power, they would probably be scared to death.

This was indeed the case.

At this moment, Liang Shijin only had the Elemental Spirit left. However, if that was the case... He could easily sense a violent vibration. It was the power of the Sovereign Artifact that had shattered the void. Even though he only had the Elemental Spirit left, he could still sense the great terror contained within it.

At this moment, Liang Shijin's heart had already sunk to the bottom of the valley. In a moment of desperation, a ray of light suddenly burst out from his Elemental Spirit. Along with the momentum, the terrifying power of the Sovereign Artifact was delayed for a moment.

In the next moment, Liang Shijin's Elemental Spirit desperately tried to escape, but it actually managed to avoid this attack.

This caused Lin Cheng to be startled. He really didn't expect this. There was actually someone who could dodge the attack of the Sovereign Artifact, even if this person was an almighty expert. Furthermore, this was an extremely powerful cultivator amongst the almighty experts. However... That was a Sovereign Artifact. If it was really that easy to dodge it... How could a Sovereign Artifact have such a great reputation?

Furthermore, just how terrifying was the power of this Sovereign Artifact? Lin Cheng had a deep understanding of it, even if he had mastered the Space Rule. Of course, he could integrate himself into the void. He could even use the Space Rule to travel thousands of miles in an instant.

However, the power unleashed by the Sovereign Artifact could ignore the existence of space. Wherever it passed, even if it was blocked by the Spatial Barrier, it would still tear the space apart. Or perhaps... It would directly penetrate the space, and press forward with indomitable will. There was nothing that could stop the power of the Sovereign Artifact.

However, this Liang Shijin had done it. Although it wasn't to offset the power of the Sovereign Artifact, but to delay it a little, it was still done.

This shocked Lin Cheng. This was truly an amazing technique.

After being stunned for a moment, Lin Cheng immediately pulled the bowstring. The Imperial Bow once again shot out a terrifying force.

This force ignored the space and arrived behind Liang Shijin at an incomparably terrifying speed.

At this moment, Liang Shijin's Elemental Spirit once again burst out with a ray of light. This time, Lin Cheng looked very carefully. He could see that this ray of light was weaker than before. He immediately realized that Liang Shijin's technique could only be used once. That might be Liang Shijin's last resort.

As expected!

Although the Imperial Bow's power had been slowed down a little, it wasn't affected too much. This time, Liang Shijin didn't try to dodge. It was as if a piece of his Elemental Spirit had been cut off. Lin Cheng was shocked by what he saw. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes... He didn't know that the Elemental Spirit of the cultivator could still be cut off from his body.

It wasn't the first time that the Imperial Bow had killed a mighty warrior. But this was the first time Lin Cheng had seen such a scene. Perhaps... Was this because Liang Shijin's Elemental Spirit was stronger than the other mighty warriors?

Liang Shijin's Elemental Spirit was screaming in pain, interrupting Lin Cheng's thoughts. He quickly moved forward, wanting to capture Liang Shijin's Elemental Spirit.

"Little Brute, you have destroyed my true body. You deserve to die ten thousand times over!"

Liang Shijin's Elemental Spirit was roaring, "Even if my body and soul are destroyed, I won't let you live."

In the next moment, Liang Shijin's Elemental Spirit once again emitted a ray of light. Lin Cheng's expression turned serious, and he hastily retreated. After that, he saw Liang Shijin's Elemental Spirit suddenly explode. The powerful force had even torn apart the spatial zone.

A majestic force suddenly attacked him. Lin Cheng hastily circulated the Space Rule to cancel out the force.

However, his plan to capture Liang Shijin's Elemental Spirit failed. Looking at the distorted spatial zone, Lin Cheng couldn't help but frown.

He wasn't disappointed by Liang Shijin's Elemental Spirit's self-destruction. Of course. It would be even better if he could capture Liang Shijin's Elemental Spirit, but it wasn't surprising that he couldn't. After all, Liang Shijin's strength was indeed a level higher than his. After all, he was an expert who had touched the threshold of the Half-step Sovereign.

What Lin Cheng was thinking about was the light that was emitted from Liang Shijin's Elemental Spirit three times in a row. What exactly was that light?

Especially when that light appeared for the first time, it was actually able to slightly resist the power of the Imperial Bow. That was quite amazing.

That was a Sovereign Artifact!

Although Lin Cheng was unable to fully unleash the power of the Sovereign Artifact, it was an incomparably terrifying treasure in the hands of a Supreme Being. As long as one was below the Supreme Being realm, the power of the weapon would naturally be unimaginable.

When Lin Cheng activated the Sovereign Artifact, its power would definitely far surpass Lin Cheng's realm. And Lin Cheng was currently at his peak. This also meant that... When he activated the Sovereign Artifact, its power would at least be around the Half-step Sovereign. That was enough to threaten a Half-step Sovereign. Lin Cheng's own judgment was the same.

However, such a terrifying power was unleashed by the light of Liang Shijin's Elemental Spirit. Although it wasn't completely neutralized, Lin Cheng asked himself. If it were him, he would have used the Treasure Seal Zhu Ziqiao had left him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to do this at all. Even his Space Rule might not be able to save him. Because the distance was too close, he could only wait for death.2

However, Liang Shijin had done it. This had piqued Lin Cheng's interest.

What exactly was that ray of light that erupted from Liang Shijin's Elemental Spirit? What kind of secret technique was that? Or was it some kind of technique that he had comprehended after he had touched the threshold of the Half-step Sovereign?

This made Lin Cheng very curious. He thought about it carefully and found that Liang Shijin's technique was very limited.

For example, when Liang Shijin's Elemental Spirit erupted with that ray of light for the first time, it was clearly the strongest. It could actually delay the power of the Imperial Bow. Although it only lasted for a short period of time, it was still shocking enough.

However, when Lin Cheng shot another arrow, Liang Shijin was somewhat unable to do it. Of course, that could also be considered as saving his life, but the power of that ray of light was obviously not as powerful as the first time.

In this case, Liang Shijin's method could only be used once. Or, it could be said that the most effective method was the first time. This should be the last life-saving method of Liang Shijin. It seemed like this wasn't a magic treasure, but also not some kind of technique that could be used to activate the Spirit Power.

Because Liang Shijin's body no longer existed at that time, he naturally didn't have enough Spirit Power. At that moment, Lin Cheng didn't sense any strong fluctuation of the natural law.

From this, one could roughly tell that Liang Shijin's technique should be used to activate the spiritual sense or his Divine Sense.

This was what Lin Cheng was most interested in. Was it because Liang Shijin had divine sense that he was able to use such a technique? If that was the case, it was enough to show that he was still at a very low level when it came to using divine sense.

Now that Liang Shijin was dead, Lin Cheng had no way to verify it. He could only guess from the side.

Of course, it was also possible that Liang Shijin had touched the threshold of the Half-step Sovereign. That was why he had comprehended some kind of technique, although there was still a huge gap between the Half-step Sovereign and the Supreme Realm. But no matter what, it was still related to the Supreme Being realm.

Furthermore, although the Imperial Bow was a Sovereign Artifact, the power it could unleash in Lin Cheng's hands was a world of difference compared to when it was in the hands of a Supreme Being. Therefore, this explanation was reasonable.

No matter what the reason was, there was one thing that was without a doubt: The battle with Liang Shijin had given Lin Cheng a great harvest. This harvest was not in terms of cultivation realm, nor was it in terms of the utilization of rules and other aspects. Instead, it was in terms of the usage of spiritual sense and Divine Sense. Lin Cheng felt that he was still lacking.

Even though Liang Shijin didn't display any special Divine Sense during this battle, strictly speaking, he didn't display any special Divine Sense attack. His Divine Sense was actually not as powerful as Lin Cheng's Divine Sense. If this was the spiritual sense... Lin Cheng wouldn't think too much about it, but since Liang Shijin had a spiritual sense... At the same time, he had also displayed such a powerful self-defense technique. This made Lin Cheng have no choice but to consider this aspect.

"In the end, it was only after Liang Shijin touched the threshold of the Half-step Sovereign that he gained some insight. Or perhaps, this is a way to use divine sense?"

Lin Cheng frowned and thought deeply. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

At his current level, there was no longer any lack of foundation, because in all the sects in Cultivation Realm of Dongzhou, only a handful of people could reach this level.

It was even harder to say how many of them had Divine Sense. At least until now, Liang Shijin was the only person Lin Cheng had ever met who had Divine Sense.

Those mighty warriors and half-step mighty warriors who attacked him were almost the majority of the Top Expert in Dongzhou, but Lin Cheng had never sensed the existence of Divine Sense from them.

Therefore, perhaps those people knew some secrets or had more combat experience than him, but apart from that, there weren't many people who could give him guidance in terms of cultivation and other aspects.

Those people were even less qualified to give him guidance in the utilization of Divine Sense. Therefore, everything could only be deduced by Lin Cheng, or even a guess. However, it wouldn't be so easy to verify it.

Indeed, Liang Shijin was qualified to give pointers to him, but unfortunately, the two of them were destined to be enemies. Judging from Liang Shijin's attitude, only one of them would survive. In that case, Lin Cheng could only kill him.

Unfortunately, the difference in cultivation realm between the two of them wasn't huge. Lin Cheng could borrow the power of the Sovereign Artifact to kill Liang Shijin, but he didn't have the ability to capture him alive. From the last moment when Liang Shijin detonated the Elemental Spirit, it could be seen that the opponent didn't want him to be captured.

With Liang Shijin's Cultivation Level and realm, as long as he didn't want to, Lin Cheng wouldn't be able to capture him alive.

In this way, Lin Cheng only had two options left.
