From the end of the world

Chapter 418 Shen Zhao VS the Lord of the Divine Seal
A tall figure stepped into the rock seating area.

Anyone can tell who this figure belongs to. Even if you can't tell from the body size, you can figure out that there is only one person who would enter the virtual realm at this time.

The divine light appeared!
The moment he saw Shenzhao's figure, Yuchi, who was sitting on a rock chair in the distance, tensed up all over, and immediately turned his head and looked nervously at the Lord of the Divine Seal. Xuanming seemed to have sensed something from Yuchi's unusual reaction, and his eyes moved back and forth between Shenzhao and the Lord of the Divine Seal.

Even No. 7 seemed to have sensed the coming storm and slightly changed his sitting position, looking towards us.

I moved my position slightly so that I could better protect the small bowl, and at the same time looked towards the Lord of the Divine Seal.

The Lord of the Divine Seal slowly lowered the arm that was supporting his face. The seven Void Realm Apostles had all gathered at this moment, and he had obviously woken up. His gaze, which seemed to be real, swept across the field and finally stopped on the dog.

Although he did not respond when the Dog proposed a deal to him, he claimed that he "knew most of the things that happened in this world", so it is very likely that he knew what had just happened the moment he woke up.

The Dog seemed to be inspired by the gaze of the Lord of the Divine Seal. He was obviously preoccupied with his own affairs and did not seem to notice the subtle changes in the atmosphere. He walked forward and took out the fragment of the Divine Seal again, saying loudly: "The Divine Seal--"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a force coming from behind his shoulder. Shen Zhao had been walking without stopping since he appeared, and he actually pushed the dog aside as if no one was around, and walked quickly towards the Lord of the Divine Seal.

Not only did he treat Xu Gou like this, he even ignored all the other people present. His eyes were always focused on the Lord of Divine Seal, as if there were only him and the Lord of Divine Seal in this virtual world from the very beginning.

I immediately realized what Shen Zhao was planning. He didn't hesitate at all, nor did he intend to waste his energy on pretending to be nice. He wanted to assassinate the Lord of the Divine Seal as soon as he entered the scene!

"Lord of the Divine Seal, I want to make a deal." Shen Zhao said calmly.

The dog behind him shouted angrily, "Don't you even know the principle of first come first served? Get off!"

The Lord of the Divine Seal turned his attention to Shen Zhao and asked, "What answer do you want to exchange for the Divine Seal fragment?"

"You have sat in that seat long enough. Being able to look down upon us from there is the only benefit you have gotten so far—"

Shenzhao stopped in front of the Lord of the Divine Seal and raised his right palm. Xugou seemed to want to grab Shenzhao's shoulders from behind, but until this moment, he seemed to realize that something was wrong and retreated as a conditioned reflex.

A white, incandescent ball of light appeared in Shenzhao's palm. At the same time, Shenzhao said in a deep voice, "And next - it's your turn to pay the price!"

After he finished speaking, a thousand-foot-long light burst out from his body, and the white ball of light in his hand was far more dazzling than he was, and it exploded in an instant.

In a time that was probably less than one millionth of a second, the gray mist shrouding the interior of the virtual realm was blown away by the extremely violent fluctuations of magic power, and the background of the virtual realm was only the darkness that was like the void of space. In the exposed darkness, the white light emitted by the divine light dyed everything white.

It was like a supernova explosion! In such a short gap, even I could only perceive it, but there was no time to intervene.

The most crucial part in assassinating the Lord of Divine Seal is this initial blow.

Shenzhao must have spared no expense and time, and poured all his efforts into this attack, so it has such an overwhelming power. I have no doubt that if this attack landed on Luoshan Headquarters, even if there were ten great impermanence-level fighters directly below, Luoshan Headquarters and the surrounding primeval forest would be destroyed. Even Shenzhao himself, who released this ultimate move, might not be able to think of any way to resist this attack.

And such a large-scale and powerful attack did not cause any harm to the others present. While clearing away all the gray mist, all the destructive power was gathered to the ultimate point and blasted towards the Lord of the Divine Seal.

It was estimated that not only the gray mist was cleared away, but also the connection between the Lord of the Divine Seal and the Divine Seal was cut off in the changes just now. The Lord of the Divine Seal was now in a state where he could not use the power of the Divine Seal.

As expected, the body of the Lord of the Divine Seal was engulfed by the boundless white light. The overly powerful force made it impossible for me to detect the details, but there was one thing I was very sure of - the Lord of the Divine Seal was hit by this attack.

The divine photo was obtained!
However, Shen Zhao did not show an expression of victory, instead, he showed an expression of disbelief.

"……how so?"

He seemed unable to control his emotions and uttered a voice of great shock, "You...are actually..."

He seemed to be doubting his own judgment and was unable to continue speaking. In the white light that had not yet faded, the voice of the Lord of the Divine Seal rang out.

"I have told you from the beginning, right?" The Lord of the Divine Seal said calmly, "If you do it again, I will kill you without mercy." As soon as he finished speaking, the white light that originally belonged to Shen Zhao all flowed out of control and gathered in one place. At the same time, the Lord of the Divine Seal appeared again. He was unharmed, and the white light was all concentrated in his palm, as if to show that the ownership of this power fell into his hands.

Then, the Lord of the Divine Seal aimed it at Shenzhao, and the white light turned into a torrent of light that seemed to be able to destroy everything. Shenzhao's expression changed drastically, and he immediately turned into a white light, as if he was trying to evade it.

However, he still didn't make it in time. He didn't even have time to say a word before the white light he turned into was swallowed up by the white light torrent. When the torrent receded, he didn't show up again and just disappeared without a trace.

Divine light, death.

Both Shen Zhao's attack and the Lord of the Divine Seal's counterattack happened too quickly, leaving no room for them to intervene.

I couldn't understand what I saw. No, I predicted that Shenzhao's assassination plan might fail, and I'm afraid Shenzhao himself didn't think his assassination would succeed, so I wasn't particularly shocked. But logically speaking, the connection between the Lord of the Divine Seal and the Divine Seal should have been cut off by the previous attack, and the Lord of the Divine Seal should not be able to resist Shenzhao's ultimate move.

However, the Lord of the Divine Seal not only survived, but was also intact, and killed Shen Zhao with a single counterattack. Although I saw the whole process, I still don't understand what the Lord of the Divine Seal did specifically.

Could it be that Shenzhao's speculation was wrong, and the Lord of the Divine Seal was not "a mortal who was lucky enough to obtain the Divine Seal", or that the Divine Seal had properties that even Shenzhao could not calculate, and could even defend against such a situation?

The truth is probably not in either of these two. Because even I can think of these two possibilities, Shenzhao can't have no idea about it. However, before he died, Shenzhao showed such a shocked expression. This means that he used his eyesight to perceive the truth that I couldn't perceive.

And there was another person at the scene who might have the same eyesight as Shenzhao, and she might very well know what truth Shenzhao had just seen.

"——Xiao Wan." I immediately started a conversation through telepathy, "Did you see what just happened?"

"I... I saw it..." Xiaowan seemed to be shocked as well.

"You said before that as long as the Lord of the Divine Seal uses his power, you can sense the connection between him and the Divine Seal, right?" I asked, "Did you sense it just now?"

"Yes, I sensed it... No, I didn't sense it..." Xiaowan's words and thoughts were obviously very confused.

"Did you sense it, or didn't you?" I asked. "What did you see?"

Xiao Wan seemed to sort out his thoughts for a while, and then said: "When the Lord of the Divine Seal used his power just now, I seemed to sense the existence of the Divine Seal... Unlike the small fragments in our hands, it is an intact yet fragmented Divine Seal...

“But… I didn’t sense the Lord of the Divine Seal!
“When I sensed the Divine Seal, I couldn’t sense the Master of the Divine Seal in front of me! It’s like… like he is the Divine Seal itself!”

--What?
I was shocked by Xiaowan's answer, and then quickly asked, "You mean that the reason why you can't sense the connection between the Lord of the Divine Seal and the Divine Seal is because he is not the holder of the Divine Seal, he is the Divine Seal itself. To put it more specifically, he is a Divine Seal with self-awareness, can speak human language, and can transform into a human form... Can I understand it this way?"

Xiao Wan said blankly: "I... I don't know, but... it seems to be like this. This conclusion is very consistent with what I perceive..."

No wonder the Divine Note Society failed.

If the enemy is the divine seal itself, then there is no way to cut off the connection between the enemy and the divine seal. This is not a question of whether the other party, as the holder of the divine seal, is a mortal or a god. The premise is wrong from the beginning.

The Lord of the Divine Seal raised his hand and pointed at the place where Shen Zhao died, and five fragments of the Divine Seal appeared out of thin air there.

It is very likely that what appeared there were not only the fragments of the God Seal bound to Shen Zhao, but also the fragments of the ownerless God Seal. Shen Zhao's fatal blow just now probably contained the power of those fragments of the ownerless God Seal, and because he brought his power into the virtual realm, the Lord of the God Seal probably followed the clues and caught those fragments of the ownerless God Seal.

Five fragments of the Divine Seal flew towards the Lord of the Divine Seal, and at this moment, another shocking incident occurred, and someone attacked those fragments of the Divine Seal.

The one who took action this time was Xuan Ming.

Suddenly, flames erupted from Xuan Ming's hands, swallowing the five fragments of the divine seal like a giant mouth!
