Chapter 272: Plan To Enlarge Space

The martial warriors felt offended by Lu Zheng's words but when he gave the condition, they realised the bitter truth. They could not do this task.

Cangxiang Zihan's face turned ugly before he suddenly realised something. Lu Zheng was a space path expert!

Cangxiang Zihan was not the only one to realise this. In fact, everyone did. They looked at Lu Zheng in a new light.

When attacking the day beasts, Lu Zheng used techniques of many paths. Wind path, fire path, lightning path and others. It was inconceivable.

Yet, this fellow cultivated space path as well.

Looking at him, they were probably thinking: "What does this guy cultivate?"

It was a common knowledge that cultivating more than one path was a very arduous task. Just the intensity of the tribulations could scare one to death.

And that was even if they could breakthrough at all. Completing the requirements in terms of Qi and Essence was not enough. A martial practitioner had to have in-depth knowledge of the paths they cultivated.

Cultivating one path required lifelong dedication. Who would be foolish enough to cultivate more?

Yet Lu Zheng did the exact opposite and cultivated seven paths at once.

Immortal Star gave the dumbfounded martial warriors a look of contempt as if they were frogs in a well before turning to Lu Zheng: "Do you need me to follow you? I can protect you as you complete your task"

Lu Zheng shook his head: "No, you will only burden me"

Without waiting for Immortal Star's response, Lu Zheng flew out of the S grade encampment.

The day beast roosters that were flying around the dome saw Lu Zheng and converged on him at once. They were willing to peck him to death.

A bright light flashed as Lu Zheng's figure was obscured by countless day beast roosters. Blood flew through the air and Lu Zheng was no more.

The day beast roosters felt extremely energized from the refined fleshy energy of an Acquisition realm expert. A dangerous glint shone in their eyes as they sized the remaining martial warriors up.

These day beast roosters no longer saw them as enemies but rather, as food.

"Oh no!" Yu Er Dan shrieked and looked away. She could not bear to watch such a scene.

"Stop shouting. He's still alive" Immortal Star snorted. He couldn't sense Lu Zheng's life aura but the alliance agreements that bound him were still present. It only meant that Lu Zheng was alive.

When the martial warriors checked properly, they noticed a scary matter. The originally golden feathers at the belly of the day beast roosters had turned a scary tinge of purple as they began to swell at a visible rate.

"Boom~!"

A muffled explosion could be heard from the day beast roosters as purple lightning flashed from their orifices. All signs of life left their eyes and they dropped from the sky like dead flies.

"This…"

The martial warriors could not comprehend the sight. The day beast roosters that had eaten Lu Zheng had somehow died.

Lu Zheng who was already tens of metres away snorted: "Bird brained"

From the moment he had said he would go out of the encampment, he knew something like this would happen. Because of this, he was prepared to escape the day beast roosters.

Lu Zheng was smart and he knew his limits. He knew he did not have the battle strength to fight tens of rank eight day beast roosters. That was why he plotted secretly.

He created a Lightning Deity the moment the day beast roosters surrounded him and spatial skipped out of danger. The Lightning Deity was made with lightning path and blood path methods. On the exterior, it looked exactly like Lu Zheng.

The day beast roosters were beasts. They did not have high intelligence like the races of the main world and could not see through Lu Zheng's methods.

When they ate the Lightning Deity, it exploded violently inside them and killed them all in one move. The day beast roosters did not know the cause of their deaths till the very end.

He did not use the Fire Deity even though it was stronger. He knew that the Lightning Deity had more explosive power.

Lu Zheng did not waste resources. He stored the corpses of the day beast roosters in his spatial ring and flew away. He was moving towards the tributary of the River of Time.

Lu Zheng's body was hidden in the spatial gaps around him as he moved. Nobody could see him or sense his life aura. It was like he had completely disappeared.

He did not move swiftly. He was afraid of alerting the other day beasts. He was surrounded by so many that if he was discovered, he would surely die.

Lu Zheng was taking a huge risk by flying towards the tributary of the River of Time but he knew it was the only way to end the beast tide.

Despite his slow speed, Lu Zheng soon reached the tributary of the River of Time. Immediately, a strong oppressive force overwhelmed him that he could barely move. A sense of despair rooted itself in the depths of his soul so much that he found it difficult to breathe.

~How come the suppression is this strong?~

Lu Zheng had been to many Secluded Domains of Heaven and Earth in his two lifetimes. In this lifetime alone, he had entered the Sea of Nirvana, the Gate of Life and Death and Heaven Ice Crystal Box. He already knew the sensation of oppression that the Secluded Domains of Heaven and Earth radiated.

Yet, only a tributary of the River of Time had caused him such oppression. Lu Zheng could not help but see the River of Time in a new light.

Lu Zheng shook his head and steeled his resolve. His willpower was strong and he forcefully kept the suppressive force at bay. His goal was the only thing that was in his mind now.

He wanted to enlarge space!
