King of Gods-Chapter 1520: Pseudo Ancestral Artifact

“How could Zhao Feng have God King level Primal Chaos energy?” Beiming Hui’s mind was reeling. If Zhao Feng had used this energy from the very beginning, he would already be dead.

But even so, Zhao Feng’s group still found it very difficult to push back God King Charflame. There was definitely a limit to the God King level energy within Zhao Feng’s body. Over the long term, they would still lose.

But at this moment, Beiming Hui sensed something and smiled. The Protector is finally here!

In the distance, God King Charflame was grim and silent.

“Something… isn’t right!” Zhao Feng sensed the oddness in the air, and at the same time, his left eye twitched.

Suddenly, a vast and heaven-shaking pressure descended. The region trembled, and Zhao Feng’s group sunk down as if they had been struck by a massive hammer.

“Watch out!” Zhao Feng called out as he prepared to leave.

But at this moment, an imposing elder appeared behind them. His body was stooped and his skin as tough and gnarly as the bark of a thousand-year-old tree, covered in countless special and ancient patterns. It was none other than the Heaven Defying Faction’s Protector.

The moment the Protector appeared, he waved his hand, unleashing a fan of silver energy.

Boom! Bang!

Caught off guard, Zhao Feng’s party was caught up in the Protector’s sudden attack. They hastily used their defensive arts, but the silver light pushed through their defenses like they were made of paper.

Plush!

All of them were sent flying several dozen li, vomiting blood as their faces turned ghastly pale.

Fortunately, the Protector only abruptly lashed out and had not built up power especially for this strike, or else their lives would have been in danger.

Whoosh!

With a slight turn of the Protector’s hand, space seemed to freeze. Movement became exceptionally slow and arduous.

At this moment, the blood that Zhao Feng had just vomited congealed into a bloody pearl and flew into the Protector’s hand.

“The Heaven’s Legacy Race Protector!” Zhao Feng’s expression darkened.

With two God Kings present and Zhao Feng’s group heavily injured, it was basically impossible to resist. Moreover,

Zhao Feng sensed that the Heaven’s Legacy Race Protector was much stronger than ordinary God Kings.

As for why the Protector had taken some of his blood, he didn’t have time to think about such things.

“Protector, thank goodness you promptly arrived!” Beiming Hui instantly smiled. He found the sensation of his life being under the control of another God King very unpleasant.

“Divine Emissary Beiming, where are the others?” The Protector slowly asked, his expression indifferent.

Beiming Hui’s face instantly froze and his heart began to tremble. But he did not dare to lie in front of the Protector. “Divine Emissary Chang and the three Palace Kings were all killed by Zhao Feng’s party!”

“A bunch of good-for-nothings!” The Protector’s voice chilled.

They clearly only needed to delay the Ninth God Eye, but Beiming Hui’s group had suffered such terrible losses and almost allowed Zhao Feng to escape.

Beiming Hui immediately dropped to the ground and got down on one knee. “Protector, please forgive me!”

“Sir is looking down on this old man too much!” God King Charflame suddenly said in displeasure.

The moment the Protector appeared, he began to scold his subordinate as if God King Charflame didn’t exist. This left God King Charflame feeling rather humiliated.

But the Protector’s next words almost made God King Charflame vomit blood.

“I truly am looking down on you,” the Protector coldly said.

“The Heaven’s Legacy Race is getting too arrogant! This happens to be the territory of the Purgatory Sacred Land!” God King Charflame was infuriated and put aside all courtesy as he bellowed.

At this moment, several powerful pulses of energy came from the distance, and a few moments later, several God Lords arrived. There were two Third Heavens and four Second Heavens in this group, all of them upper echelon God Lords of the Purgatory Sacred Land.

“In the Ancient Desolate Realm of Gods, strength decides everything!” the Protector responded with equal measure.

Not long after the Purgatory Sacred Land’s experts arrived, a white-robed Divine Emissary of the Heaven Defying Faction together with three Palace Kings appeared.

For the Heaven’s Legacy Race to send such a force to capture Zhao Yufei, one could see how much importance it placed on Zhao Yufei and Zhao Feng.

The forces on both sides got stronger and stronger. At this point, even if every member of Zhao Feng’s group was at peak condition, they would have been outmatched by either side.

But this did not mean that there was no chance of a turnaround. The Purgatory Sacred Land and the Heaven Defying Faction both wanted the Ninth God Eye. As this was the territory of the Purgatory Sacred Land, the Sacred Land clearly had more forces. Moreover, Zhao Feng’s group had just been heavily injured by the Protector, so they were so weak that the other two parties had begun to ignore them.

“You’re sure that you want to fight over the Ninth God Eye with me?” God King Charflame asked with a smile.

This place was the territory of the Purgatory Sacred Land. With his order, more and more experts would converge on this place.

“Fight? You’re no match for me and don’t have the right to fight with me.” The Protector was as calm as ever.

“Haha, let me see just how strong the experts of the Heaven’s Legacy Race are!” God King Charflame heartily laughed.

He just finished speaking when boundless flames began to gather around him. God King Charflame became like a blazing sun, radiating dazzling red light. And as more energy gathered around him, the temperature rapidly climbed. The nearby God Lords began to find it difficult to breathe. The entire region was aflame, space itself on the verge of melting.

God King Charflame held nothing back against this God King expert of the Heaven’s Legacy Race, even using the strongest power available to him.

Zhao Feng’s group immediately fell back some distance.

“Is that all?” The Protector remained unperturbed.

Swish!

With a wave of his hand, he revealed a golden-red feather fan. The feather fan was formed from many layers of feathers, all of them exuding scorching and blinding flames.

The moment the fan appeared, the blood-red flames retreated and weakened. The Fire energy that was gathered around God King Charflame somewhat dimmed. Instead, Fire energy began to gather around the feather fan, causing the flames to burn brighter and brighter. The frightening image of a Golden Crow began to manifest.

“Could this be… the Ancestral Artifact Blazing Hell?!” God King Charflame’s eyes went slack as his heart began to madly thump.

The supreme Ancestral Artifact of the Fire Laws, Blazing Hell! This was a treasure that all Fire Law cultivators could only dream about.

However, this Ancestral Artifact had been shattered in the Ancient Era.

“Ancestral Artifact Blazing Hell?” Zhao Feng was stunned.

The pressure exuded by this feather fan caused his three Ancestral Artifact fragments to tremble.

Whoosh!

The Protector poured Divine Power into the fan. The flames radiating from the fan instantly swelled to a hundred times their original size, creating a fan of flames that blocked out the sky.

Boom!

The Protector swung the fan, sending a Golden Crow howling out from it. All the flames in the world were instantly pulled toward it, fueling its power.

God King Charflame sensed that he lost control over this region of the world, even the flames he released being weakened to a certain extent.

“No… this can’t be Blazing Hell!” God King Charflame cried out. Swish!

A golden-red feather appeared in his hand. This was none other than a fragment of Blazing Hell.

God King Charflame had to use his full power to deal with the Protector’s attack. He activated the Ancestral Artifact fragment and unleashed a dazzling red sun.

Boom! Bang!

The golden crow heedlessly crashed into the dazzling sun, sending a firestorm sweeping through the world. “Retreat!”

“Hurry and retreat!”

All the experts besides the two God Kings fell back.

Several Second Heaven God Lords near God King Charflame failed to retreat in time and were set aflame.

Zhao Feng’s group was rather far from the battlefield, but they still felt their bodies, blood, and even Divine Power burning under the heat of the firestorm.

Zhao Feng immediately activated his left eye and peered into the center of the battlefield. The Golden Crow had tom the blood-red sun in half and was lunging toward God King Charflame, but the Golden Crow had dimmed somewhat, clearly weakened.

“Red Sun Barrier!” God King Charflame used his defensive secret art.

The boundless flames around his body gathered into a sphere of fire that guarded him.

Boom! Bang!

As the Golden Crow struck, God King Charflame was thrown backward, a clear Crack! coming from his defensive barrier.

God King Charflame quickly stabilized himself and, much worse for the wear, glared at the Protector.

“That is not a real Ancestral Artifact, but a Pseudo Ancestral Artifact!” God King Charflame firmly declared.

He himself had a fragment of Blazing Hell, so he was sure that the Blazing Hell held by the Protector was not real, but a Pseudo Ancestral Artifact reforged using the majority of Blazing Hell’s Ancestral Artifact fragments.

A God King with a real Ancestral Artifact could be called a God. The Protector was clearly not at this level, but even so, the power of the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact was extremely close to the real deal and was not something God King Charflame could fight against.

Even though the Protector was not skilled in the Fire Laws, he was still able to defeat God King Charflame with the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact. If the Protector was a master of a Fire Law, God King Charflame would have been in a much worse state.

“It truly is a Pseudo Ancestral Artifact!” Twilight Valley muttered.

Zhao Feng was startled. Such powerful energy, but it was still only a Pseudo Ancestral Artifact?

At the same time, he recalled that God Lord Heavenly Solitude, who had possessed a fragment of Blazing Hell, had not used it in their battle. It was now apparent that the Heaven’s Legacy Race had taken all the Ancestral Artifact fragment they had and reforged them into this Pseudo Ancestral Artifact.

“Correct.” The Protector nodded as the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact vanished from his hand.

A look of hesitation appeared on God King Charflame’s face. Even though this wasn’t the real Blazing Hell, he still had a deep desire for the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact. He craved this object even more than the Ninth God Eye. After all, a fusion with a God Eye was not guaranteed to succeed, while there was no such problem with the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact. Once he obtained it, he could just refine it.

However, God King Charflame also knew that he was no match for the Protector of the Heaven Defying Faction, and there was no chance of him obtaining the Pseudo Ancestral Artifact.

God King Charflame and the God Lords of the Purgatory Sacred Land slowly retreated. They had withdrawn from the battle for the Ninth God Eye.

“Zhao Feng, we meet again. This time, once you return to the Divine Kingdom, don’t even think about leaving!” The Protector turned to Zhao Feng and gave a frightening smile.
