Chapter 1135: Chapter 536: Pretending to be God, Playing Ghost_3

"This student obeys."

King of Souls chuckled inwardly, thinking that this high official was quite attuned to human nature.

They were divided into two groups and went separate ways. Owen Bertram stood in the Extinction Domain, gazing far at the towering Hook Divine Wood that reached down to the earth. The canopy was covered by layers of clouds, with no end in sight from a high vantage point! The strong and vigorous roots were deeply embedded into the ground, extending like huge snakes everywhere.

The branches and roots of this Divine Wood all took on the figure of a certain divine snake.

The trunk was as enormous as a mountain, and from time to time, a verdant light would leak out from the central part of the trunk.

Owen Bertram revealed a smile, "Since I’m here already..."

Kevin Collins lay trembling in place, not daring to go out... He was always feeling like if he moved slightly, he would provoke the divine being high up in the Vault of Heaven to strike him down with a casual blow.

But as he stayed still, the demon beings in the Extinction Domain started moving; groups of shadows as dark as ink rolled out from the woods, surrounding him in a circle! Kevin Collins’ entire body was chilled: it’s over!

...

After wandering around the alleys of Moon City for half a day, Berry had gotten a clear understanding of the place.

Ever since he got the Square Ring and entered the Da Luo World Gate as a Calamity Experiencer, he had gone through four adventures. It was through these four near-death experiences that he managed to rapidly advance to the peak of the Fourth Realm. All the resources and insights required for cultivation could be obtained from the Da Luo World Gate.

Berry also grew rapidly through these experiences. Based on the information he had gathered, he smoothly blended in with a group of Nightmare Sect believers.

He then found the leader of the believers on a street in the west of the city, a lame witch doctor. It was said that half a year ago, this witch doctor was paralyzed in both legs, but he stood up miraculously after devoutly worshipping the Divine Lord every day. Without a doubt, as long as he maintained such devout faith, his currently crippled leg would recover eventually.

Using a magical item from the Da Luo World Gate, Berry easily followed the witch doctor and discovered a fortified village outside the city. The village was hidden within a cemetery thirty miles west of the city.

The cemetery used to be a Chaotic Burial Mound in Moon City where countless unclaimed corpses and decapitated criminals were buried. Nobody knew when the bizarre legends about the place started circulating within the city.

Some bold people entered the area during broad daylight, only to encounter ghost walls; some never returned, while those who barely made it back fell seriously ill and were not as strong as before. Gradually, the place became forbidden, but ordinary people were unaware that someone had set up an illusory array on the burial mounds, concealing the Divine Village within.

The scale of the Nightmare Sect’s development in Rex County far exceeded the intelligence of the Horizon Bureau; they already had over a million believers and as many as twenty Divine Villages.

However, every believer in each of the Divine Villages was informed that theirs was the only Divine Village in the entire Nightmare Sect, and that they were closest to the Divine Lord among all the believers!

Indeed, the witch doctor was very devout. He personally delivered the offerings from the believers to the Divine Village every day, even though the higher-ranking witch doctors in the village had told him that it was enough to deliver them every half a month.

His diligence provided Berry with a convenient opportunity. Berry crushed a "Cobra" and sneaked into the Divine Village to observe for a while, then swiftly retreated.

This Divine Village was extraordinary; not only were there hundreds of fanatic believers inside, but also dozens of cultivators. Among them were one from the Fifth Great Realm and three from the Fourth Great Realm! Berry alone could not match these forces.

He quietly hid outside the Divine Village, waiting for an opportunity while pondering how to create one himself.

By mid-afternoon, Berry suddenly had a bold idea. Crushing another "Cobra," he crawled into the Divine Village again. When he passed by a warehouse, he quietly stuffed a "Fire-tongue Stem" into the goods piled high like a mountain. This was a very cheap magical item, used by the lowest-ranking Calamity Experiencers in the wild to start a fire.Berry, being impoverished, always stored everything in his Storage Brocade Pouch. He quickly left after using the Fire-tongue Stem to start a fire and carefully made his way to the outer area of a thirty-feet-tall stone tower located in the center of the Divine Village, but he dared not to act recklessly.

A powerful Fifth Great Domain witch resided inside the stone tower, so sneaking inside risked getting squashed to death by her, even if she couldn’t see through his disguise.

Berry, taking into consideration the limited effectiveness of the Cobra technique, had prepared a complete plan before entering. He waited patiently while calculating the time, and if there was no movement in the warehouse after half of the Cobra effect duration, he would leave without hesitation.

It was uncertain if the fire started by the Fire-tongue Stem would trigger a devastating fire, but it might also be discovered and extinguished early. Fortunately, Berry had good luck this time. Suddenly, there was a commotion and panicked believers started yelling while beating on a copper basin, "There’s a leak, there’s a leak..."

The witch glanced in that direction and took this matter seriously. All the "sacrificial offerings" in the warehouse were of high value. She left the stone tower and went to the warehouse personally. With the Fifth Great Domain witch taking action, the fire would quickly be extinguished, so Berry wasted no time in rushing into the stone tower.

Having already collected one color in the Thread-bound Ancient Book, after acquiring another page, more than half of his adventures would be completed!

As he was about to unfold the Thread-bound Ancient Book and stuff it into the wooden carving in the center of the tower, which was about ten feet tall, he suddenly felt several powerful presences entering the Divine Village. Some of these presences even belonged to multiple Fifth Great Domain cultivators! As soon as these people appeared, the witch welcomed them. They extinguished the fire with a wave of their hands and then headed straight for the stone tower.

Berry was secretly anxious. Under the Cobra effect, he could only crawl slowly like a worm. These people were about to enter, and he could not withdraw in time. What if the Cobra effect ran out...?

Suddenly, he saw a unique statue at the side of the ten-feet-tall wooden carving. It was only around three feet tall and seemed to bow at the feet of the wooden carving. The statue was hollow, and on its back were rows of bean-sized holes. Berry quickly hid inside.

He counted and found that he still had fourteen Cobra effects remaining, which should last for more than seven shichens (14 hours).

Barely had Berry hidden well inside when the Prefect Lord and others entered. He was astonished as these fellows paid their respects to the wooden carving and then went straight for the statue, "Divine General?"

Berry dared not move at all.

The Prefect Lord’s face changed, and he asked the witch, "Has the Divine General not returned yet?" The witch shook her head, "During the time I’ve been guarding here, the Divine General has not come back." The Prefect Lord wondered why that was, considering that the Divine General was in a special state at the moment and would not be spending time outside.

He couldn’t help but come closer to check it out, and Berry had a feeling of impending doom. The Prefect Lord was also a Fifth Great Domain cultivator, and if he sensed a bug-like existence inside the statue, Berry would immediately be in trouble for blasphemy against the sacred spirits.

At the critical moment, Berry was suddenly struck by a flash of inspiration. He spurred on the Thread-bound Ancient Book to force out the "Divine Rhyme" on the first page. "Hoo—" a vast aura spread throughout the entire stone tower.

The Prefect Lord was startled and fell to his knees, "Divine General, you are back."

With a muffled voice, Berry said, "I am tired, you may leave if there’s nothing else."

The Prefect Lord and the others exchanged glances, but since the Divine General had spoken, they bowed and withdrew. Once outside, the Prefect Lord was still skeptical and asked the witch again, "You said the Divine General has not returned?"

The witch also couldn’t be certain, "Just now, when the warehouse was on fire, I went outside for a moment. Could the Divine General have returned at that time?"

The Prefect Lord nodded slowly, thinking that after the Divine General had executed Owen Bertram, he had likely depleted a significant amount of Divine Power. Unable to give them a notice in the Extinction Domain, he probably hurried back to recover.

Berry silently let out a sigh of relief and unfolded the Thread-bound Ancient Book to draw in the surrounding "Divine Rhymes." This change was also perceived by those outside, and Berry shouted in a stern voice, "I am cultivating right now. You all shall stand guard outside to protect the law!"

Although the Prefect Lord and the others were somewhat puzzled, they dared not barge in directly. Perhaps the Divine General was indeed injured and using the Divine Lord’s power to heal.

"Let’s protect the law. Once the Divine General has recovered, we can ask him about the situation in the Extinction Domain."
