Chapter 1326 - 1326: Divine Lord's Power

Boom!

A loud noise erupted, and a deep pit appeared on the ground.

And in the pit, Daoist Venerable Qingzhi lay with broken bones and torn muscles, bleeding profusely, nearly on the brink of death.

Everyone at the scene was stunned.

What kind of medicine did Taiheng Daoist Venerable take?

Suddenly become so fierce?

Qingzhi and Ling Que were both top-ranking Eighth-Grade Grandmasters in the Refining Heart Dao, renowned experts!

Yet in front of him, they became like little kids, easily defeated with a single punch?

This... This... This...

Is this still the Taiheng Daoist Venerable we know?

Especially those most familiar with him, Tian Lin, Beihe, and the Pill Masters of the Celestial Pill Department, were utterly bewildered by the scene.

And it was not even the end.

On the other side, Celestial Venerable Liu Yuan, who was under siege by a master elder and Supreme Lian Xiao in a two-on-one attack, suddenly exploded with power.

Previously, he was cautiously dodging and moving at a distance to evade their ranged attacks.

But now, he suddenly turned around and swung two strikes backward!

The elder and Supreme Lian Xiao clearly saw the attacks coming, yet they couldn't dodge them at all.

Because it was too fast.

The two barely managed to unleash powerful qi to counter those two strikes.

And then they were magnificently crushed in defeat.

Their qi collapsed instantly, utterly unable to match the same level.

Next, both were solidly struck.

Bam! Bam!

Two dull thuds, and their figures were sent flying, unclear how far.

In the end, they too lay with broken bones, unable to climb back up.

Taiheng and Liu Yuan responded quickly, advancing to restrain the eight Talisman Tower experts who were injured.

Only then did they joyfully return to Brother Cheng to report.

"Jiang Zhang... Divine Lord, we have subdued the enemy and await your orders!"

Brother Cheng nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good! You've done well!"

Taiheng Daoist Venerable, feeling the immense rune knowledge filling him, was almost unable to comprehend it.

He was even stumbling over his words.

"Uh, um, we..."

Liu Yuan wasn't much better off.

The sudden appearance of Eighth-grade Dao Array knowledge in his mind almost overwhelmed him with joy.

"This, how come my head is..."

Jiang Cheng replied casually, "Oh, it was just a trivial blessing I gave you all."

"Tr-trivial?" Taiheng was dumbfounded.

The rune knowledge in his mind had reached Tier Eight, practically opening a new world. How could it be trivial?

"How did you do it?"

Even amidst joy, Liu Yuan's mind was dazed, finding everything far too incredible.

Previously known as a Seventh-grade Emperor Alchemist, now his array knowledge easily surpassed that of arrays.

It was like an ordinary person suddenly finding a mountain of gold, the overwhelming gains instilling anxiety.

Without understanding, he feared losing sleep in the future.

The Three-Eyed Tiger couldn't hold back any longer.

Jealously retorting, "Who would've thought the Talisman Envoy and Array Envoy, alongside esteemed me, would be you two old folks."

"Talisman Envoy?"

"Array Envoy?"

Taiheng and Liu Yuan opened their mouths, seeming to grasp a bit yet still unclear.

Because everything came too swiftly and easily.

Brother Cheng shrugged, "As you can see, as the Divine Lord, I can appoint four Divine Envoys."

He glanced at the Three-Eyed Tiger.

"The Pill Envoy is this old tiger's fortune."

"Just earlier, I assigned the Talisman and Array envoys to you two."

"Don't worry, these envoys are permanent; from now on, you truly are Eighth-Grade Imperial Talisman Grandmaster and Daoist Array Grandmaster."

As this clarification ended, whether in the venue or among the audience outside, it was as if an earthquake erupted.

Everyone nearly went mad.

At last, they understood why Taiheng and Liu Yuan's combat power suddenly surged so dramatically.

Yet all attention was fixated on Jiang Cheng's miraculous technique!

The knowledge of Pill, Artifact, and Talisman Arrays, isn't it intangible, only cultivated through personal learning and insights?

Yet it can be directly bestowed?

And it was of Eighth-Grade Grandmaster Level!

Such actions defy understanding and established rules—if not witnessed firsthand, they would've deemed it impossible even in dreams.

Yet now the evidence was indisputable...

At this moment, everyone both inside and outside the venue profoundly understood what it means to embody the Refining Heart Dao and what it signifies to be the Divine Lord!

Not merely exceptional combat strength, but abilities beyond imagination!

Unconsciously, a thought floated through their minds—indeed, the Divine Lord is omnipotent.

Meanwhile, outside at the audience stands, Fan Lei, Yan Yi, and Ming Jia were filled with remorse.

Of course, they knew Jiang Cheng was not originally an embodiment of the Refining Heart Dao.

Now they speculated that Jiang Cheng must have encountered a colossal opportunity upon entering the main venue.

A chance so immense it transformed him into the so-called 'Divine Lord.'

Even the Three-Eyed Tiger, having tagged along, benefited as the Pill Envoy, mysteriously becoming an Eighth-grade Emperor Alchemist.

What merit does that Tiger Demon possess?

His fortune was purely because of walking alongside Jiang Cheng.

And before entering the main venue, Jiang Cheng had invited them; yet they refused for the sake of listening to the Dao...

Reflecting on this, the trio wished they could punch themselves.

What does picking sesame and losing the watermelon mean?

Compared to directly becoming an Eighth-grade Grandmaster, hearing the Dao is insignificant!

Even Yan Yi, pursuing pure strength, couldn't resist the allure of becoming an Eighth-grade Grandmaster.

Who could remain calm gaining another pinnacle professional skill?

Tong!

The three abruptly jumped up, then dashed toward the entrance where Jiang Cheng and the Three-Eyed Tiger had entered.

The Gatekeeper Disciple still didn't obstruct them.

They charged through the gateway without issue.

However, mere seconds later, the trio was repelled out.

Without Brother Cheng to guide them, they faced heavy setbacks in the first realm, Pill World, unable to proceed!

The three sprawled on the ground, eyes brimming with deep regret and resentment.

But it was too late now.

Meanwhile, inside the venue, upon understanding the circumstances, Taiheng and Liu Yuan were moved to tears.

"Jiang... Divine Lord, your profound kindness, how can we ever repay you?"

Taiheng Daoist Venerable fell to his knees.

Liu Yuan was also overcome with emotion, utterly overwhelmed.

Unlike the Three-Eyed Tiger, who sought prestige even after gaining benefits, they understood Jiang Cheng's granting was akin to a rebirth, an act of immense generosity.

"Alright, alright, this is what you deserve."

Jiang Cheng deliberately appointed them as divine envoys.

Besides Taiheng and Liu Yuan being old acquaintances from the Ancient Immortal Realm and Lower Realm, another reason was to influence the crowd and showcase the unique powers of the Divine Lord.

Leaving those positions empty was pointless; giving them as models was far more beneficial.

Earlier, when he commanded, no one responded.

This greatly displeased him.

Now everyone saw what they missed out on by ignoring his call.
