Chapter 2826: Chapter 2826: Golden Armored Expert

"Which sect do you lesser gods belong to?"

The young strongman in golden armor fixed his intense gaze on the divine maidens Baihua, Linglong, and others, asking.

He sensed that the divine maidens Baihua, Linglong, and others carried nearly identical auras, leading him to suspect they must hail from the same sect, hence his question.

As he roamed the Divine Realm, it was the first time he had seen such a gathering of divine maidens with Innate Spiritual Roots, piquing his curiosity about the sect’s strength behind them.

The divine maidens Baihua, Linglong, and others saw the astonishment and greed in the eyes of the young strongman and knew his intentions were not upright, so they ignored him.

"This strongman does not come with good intentions; we must be cautious!"

The Goddess Baihua transmitted her voice to the strong ones of the Emperor’s Palace.

The Divine Venerable Realm expert in golden armor felt a chill in his gaze when he saw the divine maidens Baihua and others ignoring him, revealing displeasure in his expression.

While roaming the Divine Realm, any lesser god at the True God Realm he encountered was nothing but humble and respectful to him.

And some divine maidens, seeing his excellent aptitude and handsome appearance, even willingly threw themselves into his arms to seek greater advancement in cultivation.

The ever-confident young strongman in golden armor didn’t expect that the dozen or so peerlessly beautiful divine maidens before him seemed utterly disinterested in him, not even bothering to give him a second glance.

"You’re quite arrogant!"

The young strongman in golden armor pointed at Baihua, Linglong, and the others, sneering, "But with your cultivation level, you have no right to be arrogant in front of this Divine Venerable!"

Baihua did not wish to make an unnecessary enemy and said with clasped fists, "We harbor no grievances against Upper God. Why say such things?"

The young strongman in golden armor snorted coldly, "This Divine Venerable asked you a question, and you do not answer. Isn’t this looking down on this Divine Venerable?"

Baihua replied neither humble nor haughty, "We do not belong to any sect, so how should we answer?"

The youth in golden armor said coldly, "Do not lie to me! The auras of you divine maidens are similar or identical, clearly from the same sect or force!"

Baihua said, "Upper God, you misunderstand us. We come from the Vermilion Phoenix Hall of the Starlord. The divine method secret techniques we learned were taught by the same expert, hence the similar or identical aura!"

"Vermilion Phoenix Starlord Hall?"

The young man in golden armor frowned, "Do you recognize the Vermilion Phoenix Starlord Wei Wuji?"

Baihua’s heart skipped a beat, thinking that the previous starlord of Vermilion Phoenix Star was indeed named Wei Wuji. He was driven away with Ziyun Starlord by the gods of their Emperor’s Palace, whereabouts unknown. Could this Divine Venerable Realm expert in golden armor be acquainted with Wei Wuji?

"Wei Wubin? Never heard of him."

Baihua answered calmly, secretly transmitting her voice to the Emperor’s Palace’s strong ones, urging them to heighten their vigilance and prepare for possible combat.

The young man in golden armor raised his eyebrows, "You don’t recognize Wei Wuji, yet dare claim to be from the Vermilion Phoenix Starlord Hall?"

Without warning, the golden-armored strongman extended a Divine Power Palm towards Baihua, shouting, "There’s something fishy here. Come with me to the Vermilion Phoenix Star!"

"Form the array!"

Baihua was already wary of his move. Upon seeing this, she swiftly retreated while shouting.

Instantly, several dozen strong ones from the Emperor’s Palace gathered around Baihua as the Array Eye to form a large God Slaying Formation.

When the Divine Power Palm reached them, the large God Slaying Formation began to circulate rapidly, generating a strong defensive capability.

"Boom!"

With a resounding noise, the God Slaying Formation trembled but stabilized without danger, and the grasping Divine Power Palm vanished.

"Oh? This formation is interesting."

The strongman clad in golden armor did not expect that a formation comprised of several dozen initial-stage True God Realm experts could withstand a strike from a Divine Venerable Realm expert like himself.

"However, with just a formation, you cannot hope to stop me!"

The golden-armored expert’s eyes flashed fiercely, and he shouted, unleashing a palm strike.

Previously, he had attacked half-heartedly, but this time he struck with all his might, and the divine power in his palm was astonishing.

This battle marked the first time the gods of the Emperor’s Palace formed an array to contend with a Divine Venerable Realm expert after entering the Divine Realm. Every one of them was solemn, giving it their all.

Other strong ones, seeing the arrival of the golden-armored Divine Venerable Realm expert and his confrontation with the gods of the Emperor’s Palace, found no cause for joy.

They knew that the Divine Venerable Realm expert must have become interested in the Divine Crystal Vein, leading to his descent upon this place. Once he defeated the gods of the Emperor’s Palace, he would monopolize the Divine Crystal Vein, and there would be nothing left for them.

Even if they joined forces with the strong ones of the Emperor’s Palace to resist, they were numerous but disunited, unable to fight together against a common enemy.

"Bang!"

Another resounding strike came as the golden-armored Divine Venerable Realm expert’s Divine Power Palm struck the God Slaying Formation, causing it to tremble continuously, yet it managed to hold on once more.

Other strong ones watched, marveling at the sight.

It’s important to know that several dozen initial-stage True God Realm experts facing an initial-stage Divine Venerable Realm expert faced a vast realm difference, like a tiger confronting dozens of lambs, nearly impossible to overcome with numbers alone.

However, no one expected that after forming the array, those several dozen initial-stage True God Realm experts could endure two consecutive strikes from the golden-armored Divine Venerable Realm expert without showing signs of collapse, indicating that this formation was extraordinarily ingenious.

The golden-armored Divine Venerable Realm expert was embarrassed and somewhat infuriated under everyone’s gaze, realizing he couldn’t defeat the gods of the Emperor’s Palace.

A gleam shone between his eyebrows as he summoned his Divine Artifact, swinging it horizontally with both hands.

His Divine Artifact was an iron mace that extended from several inches to a hundred zhang in length as he wielded it.

Despite being in the rocky layer beneath the great lake, the solid rocky layer could not withstand the sweeping power of his Divine Artifact.

With a loud crash, a large portion of the rocky layer shattered, and even the nearby Divine Crystal Vein was affected, scattering in all directions and drawing dazzling beams of light.

This time, the God Slaying Formation couldn’t withstand the strike of the golden-armored Divine Venerable Realm expert’s Divine Artifact.

Under the Supreme Divine Power of the Divine Mace, the several dozen experts forming the God Slaying Formation were all sent flying backward, each injured.

"You shall all follow me to the Vermilion Phoenix Star!"

The golden-armored Divine Venerable Realm expert unleashed his Divine Power Palm once more.

This time, he intended not only to capture the Goddess Baihua but also to take away all the dozen or so divine maidens who caught his eye.

It turns out that Wei Wuji, the former Vermilion Phoenix Starlord expelled by the gods of the Emperor’s Palace, was the personal disciple of this golden-armored Divine Venerable Realm expert. He had planned to visit the Vermilion Phoenix Star to meet his personal disciple. While passing Qiyun Star, he sensed the dense divine power emanating from this Divine Crystal Vein, prompting his arrival at this location.
