Chapter 263: Chapter 256 Divine Beast God-devouring Rat_2

“Ancient battlefields are not confined to this one place; there are also some in the Immortal World. Could there also be such altars there?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan asked again.

Silence fell once more…

After a long while, Li Cheng took a deep breath and shook his head, “Divine Turtle, restore this place to its original state; this is not something we can investigate!”

“Right, Divine Turtle, hurry up!” the Mole said impatiently.

Soon, the two of them and their two Divine Beasts were back in front of the Enlightenment Divine Fruits. Li Cheng gathered all of the fruits, over thirty thousand of them—how many rewards could that compare to?

As for the fruit tree, Li Cheng had no intention of disturbing it.

It relied on its roots to absorb the power from beneath it to bear so many Enlightenment Divine Fruits. If the tree were to be moved, it naturally would not be so miraculous anymore.

Back on the surface, the two men and two beasts entered the Immortal Palace.

What they had seen before was a huge shock to everyone; it would take a considerable amount of time to digest.

“Master? Is this inside the Immortal Palace? When did I come here? What happened?”

After four consecutive questions, Jiang Fan’s confusion turned into astonishment. “Master, what’s wrong with all of you? You don’t look too good.”

Li Cheng waved his hand and put the more than thirty thousand Enlightenment Divine Fruits aside, “Help yourself, I need some quiet time first.”

Li Cheng had more than enough Enlightenment Divine Fruits than he could use.

Jiang Fan looked at the fruits, his face full of suspicion—they seemed delicious.

A few days later, Li Cheng had recovered and sought out Immortal Emperor Tianyuan, “Senior, about that altar…”

“What altar?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan asked, puzzled.

Li Cheng was taken aback, impressed—worthy of being a senior, so quickly recovering from the shock and deciding not to mention it again.

Contemplating, Immortal Emperor Tianyuan smiled and said, “I severed a piece of my own memory; I did feel like there was something I’ve forgotten, but let’s not talk about it. Since I’ve cut away that memory, it means that memory should not exist.”

Li Cheng was surprised, then he said, “Could you possibly teach me this technique?”

After a pause, Li Cheng shook his head again, “Never mind; it’s unnecessary.”

Immortal Emperor Tianyuan shook his head with a smile, “There you are, at the pinnacle of a Perfect Immortal Emperor, and yet you do not know many Immortal techniques. If word gets out, I’m afraid the entire Immortal World and Kunlun Realm would be shocked to the core!”

Li Cheng shrugged, unfazed.

“Shall we continue treasure hunting if there’s nothing else?” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan added.

Li Cheng nodded; erasing memories like Immortal Emperor Tianyuan did seemed beneficial indeed—as such, he was untroubled in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the Mole and the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle, both appeared carefree, seemingly having moved past the shock as well.

“I’m already raring to go; have you rested up, boss?” the Mole said happily.

The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle also looked expectant.

Li Cheng nodded approvingly, “From now on, you must never speak of what lies beneath the Enlightenment Divine Fruits to anyone!”

“Beneath the Enlightenment Divine Fruits?”

The two Divine Beasts exchanged glances, utterly puzzled.

Li Cheng frowned, “Did you two also sever your memories?”

The two Divine Beasts shook their heads in unison. Reflecting, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle said, “The Enlightenment Divine Fruits grow in that magma region; there’s nothing below them, boss, what’s wrong?”

“Right, boss, you collected the Enlightenment Divine Fruits, and we came out, then we rested up in the Immortal Palace. We didn’t go anywhere else!” the Mole added.

Li Cheng raised an eyebrow nonchalantly and with a thought, tapped into that half of his Soul Origin to inspect the memories of the two Divine Beasts.

He wished he hadn’t looked; Li Cheng was stumped!

They truly had not severed their memories, and indeed, that part was missing!

What was going on?

Had he suffered a hallucination?

No, that wasn’t it—Immortal Emperor Tianyuan had indeed done it!

This confirmed the existence of the altar, yet it seemed some force had altered the memories of the two Divine Beasts.

The moment they stepped out of that place, it’s likely their memories had been changed!

Thinking this, Li Cheng felt a tingling sensation on his scalp!

Could there still be Deities alive within?

Was it the hand of a Deity that changed the memories of the two Divine Beasts?

But why was he unaffected?

Boom!

Just then, the entire Immortal Palace shook violently!

“Who dares to steal my Enlightenment Divine Fruit, come out!” a thunderous roar followed.

The mole’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably, “Here… here it conies, the Divine Beast!”

It had mentioned before that it sensed a bloodline suppression, and the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle had speculated it was a rodent Divine Beast. Apparently, the Divine Turtle’s guess was right!

Li Cheng glanced at the mole, “Stay calm. It’s just a Divine Beast, and it’s not even entered the God Realm. Plus, it’s a dead Divine Beast.”

Li Cheng casually waved his hand, and an image appeared in the great hall, where a huge, more than ten-meters-long rat was ramming into the Immortal Palace, its body rotting away as it had turned into a member of the Corpse Clan.

“A God-devouring Rat? Elder Tu, this might just be the opportunity you needed!” The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle exclaimed in astonishment.

“Divine Turtle, big guy, stop kidding around. What opportunity? I… I’m scared to death!” The mole spoke with unclear articulation, clearly very nervous due to the bloodline pressure.

Such pressure made him extremely anxious.

“This guy… they say ‘timid as a mouse.’ Are all rodents this worried? The God­devouring Rat outside doesn’t seem to be timid at all,” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle laughed, clearly not taking the God-devouring Rat outside seriously.

After pausing, the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle continued, “Although the God-devouring Rat has turned into a corpse, its bloodline is nonetheless that of a true Divine Beast, and it will not change because of its transformation into the Corpse Clan. Let’s kill it, extract its bloodline, and help Elder Tu evolve!”

The mole had undergone mutation, which enhanced its treasure hunting capability immensely, but it was, after all, not a Divine Beast. If they could get the God-devouring Rat’s bloodline, there would be a great chance for it to evolve into a Divine Beast.

And once it became a Divine Beast, it might very well inherit the Divine Skills of the God-devouring Rat.

Li Cheng’s Immortal Sense had already probed outside the Immortal Palace, “The God-devouring Rat is not simple, you see, there are many places on its body where the bones are exposed. Those bones have become Divine Bones. Back in the day, it must have been halfway into the God Realm.”

“However, now that it has become one of the Corpse Clan, the newly developed Spiritual Wisdom is probably unable to fully exert the power of the Divine Bones.”

Li Cheng speculated, because his previous hit hadn’t moved the Immortal Palace.

If it could completely mobilize the power of the Divine Bones, the Immortal Palace might have been blown away or even broken through.

“Be cautious, the most dreadful thing about a Divine Beast is its Innate Divine Ability!” Immortal Emperor Tianyuan warned.

The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle patted its paws, “That’s true. Boss, you have to protect your Immortal Infant and Divine Soul well. This guy’s Innate Divine Ability is incredibly unpredictable.”

“I was thinking of letting you take the lead! It would be great to see a showdown between Divine Beasts,” Li Cheng said with a smile.

The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle quickly shook its head, “That thing is disgusting, rotting flesh all over, and I feel like vomiting just looking at it through the light barrier, let alone fighting. How can you expect a girl to face such an opponent?”

Li Cheng’s mouth twitched, then he stepped forward and rushed out of the Immortal Palace.

As soon as he left the Immortal Palace, the God-devouring Rat pounced like lightning, its sharp claws striking out like a sword, chilling to the bone.

Li Cheng clenched his fists, activating the Rule of Fire to ignite Immortal Fire. As he chopped down with both hands, the Immortal Fire turned into a hundred-meter long towering flame War Saber and mercilessly slashed at the God-devouring Rat.

The God-devouring Rat dodged to the side, abandoning its attack, flying out of the way of the flaming War Saber.

Weirder still, the flaming War Saber suddenly scattered, transforming into countless fiery chains. It was as if they had predicted the God-devouring Rat’s evasion route and wrapped around its limbs, immediately followed by more fiery chains surging and solidifying into a prison, enveloping the God- devouring Rat.

Li Cheng operated the Fire Mysterious Realm, preparing to take it along with the prison into the realm.

But just at this moment, the God-devouring Rat let out a sharp and piercing shriek from its mouth, causing Li Cheng’s head to feel slightly dizzy. Soon after, it opened its mouth wide, and a mysterious suction force emanated from within!

Under this odd suction, Li Cheng felt the dizziness in his head intensify as if his sea of consciousness was about to leave his body!

What was more bizarre was that even his Immortal Infant showed signs of being unable to resist the mysterious force, seemingly about to leave his body as well!

“Innate Divine Ability!”

Li Cheng was shocked in his heart. This Innate Divine Ability was too strange!

Without any hesitation, Li Cheng made the prison formed of law-infused fiery chains shrink suddenly, the hot chains causing the flesh to melt away quickly.

The Corpse Clan didn’t know pain, but tightly bound by the fiery chains, the suction from the God-devouring Rat’s mouth ceased, and its Innate Divine Ability was thus cut off.

Li Cheng seized the moment to act, activating the Fire Mysterious Realm and instantly taking the God-devouring Rat into it.

Li Cheng let out a silent sigh of relief, berating himself for his oversight. Had he not restrained the God-devouring Rat in advance, it would have been tricky to deal with its Innate Divine Ability.

Inside the Immortal Palace, everyone was astonished. Immortal Emperor Tianyuan heaved a sigh of relief, “That was a close call, I almost saw Li Cheng’s Divine Soul leave his body!”

Li Cheng guided everyone out of the Immortal Palace, “The might of a Divine Beast should indeed not be underestimated. In its lifetime, the God-devouring Rat’s fighting power must have been extremely terrifying.”

“I’ll suppress it in the Fire Mysterious Realm for now and refine it later when we return.”

Right now, there was a need to hurry up with the treasure hunting and naturally no time to waste extracting the bloodline of the God-devouring Rat.

The mole wasn’t in a rush. Inspired by the Divine Beast bloodline, it was thrilled to its core and determined to show off its skills!

Putting all its effort into sensing, suddenly its eyes lit up, and it pointed down at the ground, “There might be a top-tier treasure beneath us!”

Li Cheng’s expression darkened, thinking that despite having its memory erased, it sensed that place once again!
