God of Pets

Chapter 848 Level Soaring
Despite his human form, Zhong was impossible to decipher. He held the Investiture of the Gods map in his hand and looked at Qi Tingchang calmly, saying, "He is dead, but the people he cared about are still here, so I must live."

Qi Tingchang looked at Zhong expressionlessly and said, "Even when he was still here, he couldn't stop me. Now that you're the only one with talent left, do you think you can stop me?"

"No, in terms of combat strength, I am far inferior to you. Even if he were to be resurrected, he might not be able to defeat you." Zhong said calmly, "But you can't kill me, and that's enough."

Judge Qi's expression was somewhat grim. He understood what "Zhong" meant, and he also understood why, even after that person died, "Zhong" was left behind.

"It is not dignified for the ancestral court master to bully the weak. Before he advances to the ninth level of enlightenment, I will keep this Investiture of the Gods map for him. After he advances to the ninth level of enlightenment, I will personally return the Investiture of the Gods map to its rightful owner and send it back to the Feng family." With that, he turned to leave.

"Do you really think I can't kill him without the Investiture of the Gods?" Judge Qi's eyes were sinister. He had gone to great lengths to capture Chen Guan, so how could he let him go so easily?

“You can kill him, but once he’s dead, I can assure you that from now on, no one from the Ancestral Court will ascend to the Great Cave Heaven,” he finally said, stopping in his tracks.

Qi Tingchang's eyes were deep. He knew that only Zhong, a unique being who could traverse all secret realms, could do it.

"By doing this, you have not only ruined me and Zuting, but also that person's dream."

He finally laughed: "That person's dream was never this kind of ancestral temple. Even if it were, I don't like the ancestral temple, so let it be destroyed. What's the big deal?"

With that, he shattered the void and disappeared, leaving only a voice: "Before the Ninth Awakening, anyone who touches Chen Guan and Ji Nanhong will have their entire family wiped out. I may not be able to beat you, but I can certainly beat your disciples, grand-disciples, children, and wives. I don't care about what happens to them after the Ninth Awakening. If you want to kill someone, wait until after they reach the Ninth Awakening."

Chief Qi did not intervene, as he was no match for Zhong. However, Zhong's abilities made it impossible for him to kill or capture Zhong, so any attempt to stop him would be futile.

"Are you determined to go against me? Even in death, you're going to pull this stunt to disgust me. When did we get to this point?" Chief Qi's gaze darkened as he looked at Chen Guan within the Star Flag.

Chen Guan's creation of the world has also stopped. Because the switching of the heroic spirits and the loss of the blessing of the world's end made the creation of the world unable to continue, it naturally ended.

However, a large amount of the energy absorbed earlier is still undigested in the body.

Chen Guan is currently level 68, and the remaining undigested energy should be more than enough to push him to the peak level 70.

Advancing to the Eighth Awakening Realm is only a matter of time; the current issue is how to escape from Chief Qi's clutches.

He's now qualified to play cards, but he has too few cards in his hand. Even if he gets to the table, he'll only be beaten by others.

Especially someone like Chief Qi, who is almost the strongest under the Heavenly King, has accumulated unimaginable wealth. Chen Guan's current hand is not enough to go head-to-head with him, so the best approach is to avoid him for now.

Chen Guan did not modify his secret law for the time being. The power that had tried to extract his soul had disappeared, the star map was silent, and even Chief Qi's voice was gone.

He knew something must have happened, but he didn't know what it was.

"Did someone intervene?" Chen Guan thought and thought, but apart from this possibility, he really couldn't think of any other possibility that could have made Judge Qi stop attacking him.

As Chen Guan was thinking, a force like a hammer of the soul suddenly slammed into the top of his head.

Without the protection of the power of the unsheathed spirit, this hammer blow seemed to shatter his soul into pieces, like tempered glass being struck by a hammer.

Chen Guan fell headfirst down, but the place he landed on was no longer the starry sky, but endless yellow sand.

Judge Qi's illusory form glanced at Chen Guan, who was convulsing on the ground, and said coldly, "Since he won't let me kill you, then I won't kill you. I'll only damage your soul. You can keep your life." As he spoke, Judge Qi's illusory form also dissipated.

Chief Qi used the Soul-Refining Hammer, a secret power of soul refining, to shatter Chen Guan's soul, leaving it broken but not scattered.

It won't harm Chen Guan's life, nor will it truly cause his soul to dissipate and turn him into a walking corpse. However, his soul is covered in cracks and is almost shattered. Such a fragile soul can no longer be used at a high intensity.

The soul and the body are interdependent. If the soul becomes so fragile, it is almost impossible for the body to make any further progress.

Such a soul cannot even exert the abilities that the physical body possesses.

Damage to the soul is extremely difficult to repair, let alone damage caused by the power of the Soul Cleansing Hammer, which is almost impossible to repair and is so severe.

Chen Guan lay motionless on the ground for a long time before Ghost Eye flew over on its own, lifted Chen Guan's body with its dragon claws, and carried him away into the distance, as if trying to escape the desert.

Ghost Eye flew in the sky for an unknown amount of time, but Chen Guan suddenly opened his eyes, patted Ghost Eye, and signaled it to let go of its claws.

Ghost Eye was overjoyed and released its claws, allowing Chen Guan to stand on them.

"They shouldn't be spying on me anymore." Chen Guan seemed perfectly normal, showing no signs of his soul being shattered.

He reached behind his head and pulled out a small paper figure.

"Thanks to the paper figure, otherwise this would have been truly dangerous." After Chen Guan's spirit was broken, he secretly summoned the paper figure and had it hide behind him to prevent his soul from being harmed.

The paper figure possesses the destiny star of the Netherworld Emperor and the Netherworld Emperor's Seal as a secret treasure of destiny.

They are also extremely powerful beings in terms of controlling souls.

However, his rank was too low, just like Chen Guan's current situation.

If they were exposed, who knows what other tricks Judge Qi might have up his sleeve?

Now that Judge Qi believes he has ruined Chen Guan's soul and made it difficult for Chen Guan to achieve anything, this is naturally the best thing for Chen Guan.

Although he didn't know what the force that struck his soul was, it was definitely the existence of the Nine Senses. The paper doll's ability to restore a shattered soul was already very satisfying to Chen Guan.

"Once I and the paper doll reach the Ninth Awakening, I will repay this grudge tenfold." Chen Guan put away the paper doll, found a secluded place, and thoroughly refined the world power absorbed into his body before making further plans.

Chen Guan absorbed too much starlight and eight stars, and this energy was so immense that it quickly helped him reach level 70.

There was still some energy left unused, so Chen Guan transferred it to Huangni Island.

The abundant world power on Huangni Island transformed into clouds and mist, enveloping the entire island and greatly benefiting Zhaocai, Little Tiger, and Zhan Guo, who lived on the island, causing their levels to gradually increase.
