King of Creation Chapter 1844 - 1829: Xuan Sheng’s Killing Trap

The cold, sneering voice of Xuan Sheng echoed in the void, and in an instant Ye Zhen felt an impulse to cough up blood.

He was actually still waiting for him!

You have to know, before this Xuan Sheng had probed that underground space beneath Quagmire Lake three times in a row, with a span of over a month between the first and the last.

Even so, after Xuan Sheng angrily blasted Quagmire Lake to pieces, Ye Zhen stayed beneath it in seclusion for more than three months.

Adding it all up, it was almost half a year.

Ye Zhen felt that no matter how cunning or patient Xuan Sheng was, after guarding for nearly half a year with no harvest, he had to have left long ago.

He hadn’t expected Xuan Sheng’s patience to be this terrifying.

With no discoveries at all, he had actually waited here in the sky above this Molten Hell Sea for Ye Zhen for nearly half a year.

The only explanation was that in the eyes of those people from the Heavenly Temple, that Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects Five Seed Pomegranate was ten times, a hundred times more important than Ye Zhen had imagined.

Only that could make Xuan Sheng wait here in vain for half a year with almost no hope.

Other than that, what shocked Ye Zhen even more was Xuan Sheng’s reaction speed.

In a sense, Ye Zhen’s caution had already seeped into his bones.

When Ye Zhen had just left the underground, the first to leave the subterranean space wasn’t him, but his Divine Sense attached to the incomparably abundant Fire Spirit Power here.

Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense probed nearly thirty li into the high sky, up to fifteen thousand meters in altitude, and only when he confirmed there was no abnormality whatsoever—

Did Ye Zhen drill out from underground, leap onto the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, and try to leave as fast as possible.

But the strange thing was, just as Ye Zhen drilled out of the ground and had barely shot into the sky, that vast Primordial Spirit Aura descended toward Ye Zhen like a net.

This was what Ye Zhen couldn’t figure out!

Ye Zhen felt like he had crashed right into an invisible great net the moment he appeared. Did Xuan Sheng have some kind of prophetic foresight?

He knew Ye Zhen would come out from this direction?

At this moment, Ye Zhen’s heart was practically being trampled by a hundred thousand ***. Guard against this and guard against that, and he still got hit.

But all that was only Ye Zhen’s thoughts in that instant.

At the moment that vast aura descended and Xuan Sheng’s cold sneer rang out, Ye Zhen already reacted.

Strictly speaking, it was Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense reacting, but the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten he was riding had already responded at the very first instant.

A Mysterious fluctuation, as natural as breathing, flashed over the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten’s body. The black‑gray radiance shivered slightly, and the kitten’s body was like a river plunging into the sea.

In an instant it vanished into the void.

All that was left was an extremely faint spatial ripple.

Void-Breaking!

This was the Innate Divine Ability brought by the Void-Breaking Black Tiger King Bloodline in the kitten’s body—Void-Breaking.

When the kitten had just awakened the Void-Breaking Divine Power, a single Void-Breaking could flee five thousand li, but now, as its Cultivation skyrocketed, one Void-Breaking could already escape ten thousand li.

Back during Ye Zhen’s year of bitter Cultivation, the kitten and the Nine-Headed Beast had both broken through to the Late First Stage of Realm King Realm.

In this past half year, the two little fellows had effectively Cultivated for another four years, and their Cultivation had barely broken through to the Third Stage of Realm King Realm Early Stage.

Their Combat Power had soared, and the power of this Innate Divine Ability Void-Breaking had exploded as well. Whether it was the distance of each escape or the number of times the Void-Breaking Divine Power could be used consecutively, both had risen sharply.

The same Divine Skills, when obtained through Cultivation by a Human Warrior and when awakened through Bloodline by the Demon Race, at the same level of Cultivation, the power of the Demon Race’s Innate Divine Ability far surpassed the Divine Skills Cultivated by Human Warriors.

In other words, for the same Spatial Divine Ability and similar Cultivation, once the kitten used it, it was far stronger than most Human Warriors. Even Human Warriors whose Cultivation was much higher than the kitten’s couldn’t compare to its Innate Divine Ability in this aspect.

So when the kitten casually, as naturally as eating or drinking, unleashed the Void-Breaking Divine Power, it vanished into thin air without the slightest trace of smoke or fire.

Causing that vast aura swooping down from the horizon to strike nothing but empty air.

Xuan Sheng’s figure lunged out of the void, that shiny bald head especially eye‑catching under the sunlight.

"You run pretty fast.... but can you really get away...." Xuan Sheng chuckled coldly. A hazy light‑shadow appeared in his hand; with a slight shake, an exceptionally dazzling cluster of light appeared within that hazy light‑shadow.

At the same moment, the kitten had already brought Ye Zhen eight thousand li away. Then, without any pause, it maintained an extremely high cruising speed, racing forward, preparing to get far from here.

Ye Zhen took a deep breath and rubbed a hand across his face. A wisp of Origin Mirage Qi from the Ancient Mirage Dragon inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl spread across Ye Zhen’s face.

In an instant Ye Zhen became a different person, and at the same time, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten changed its appearance as well.

Judging from the patience Xuan Sheng had shown today, the Heavenly Temple’s emphasis on that Five Seed Pomegranate was simply beyond words.

Who knew what setups were waiting ahead? If they recognized him, it would be troublesome, so Ye Zhen decisively altered his appearance.

Besides, up until now, Ye Zhen had always been using Di Kuohai’s incarnated identity and hadn’t shown his true identity.

Luckily, Ye Zhen was no longer who he used to be, especially the kitten.

With the kitten’s current speed, unless it was a top Dao Realm Expert specializing in speed and spatial Divine Skills, any other Dao Realm strong realm expert wanting to catch up to the current Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten could be summed up in two words—keep dreaming!

"Kitten, use the six‑hundred‑thousand‑li extreme speed and open up some distance first."

After Ye Zhen’s instruction, the kitten’s speed increased again. Its extreme speed of six hundred thousand li per hour could only be sustained for at most one day; after that, the kitten would lose its ability to fly.

Once that extreme speed was unleashed, the scenery around them blurred like flickering shadows. Even though they were high in the sky, the Magma Hell Sea below still retreated rapidly.

At the same time, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense clung to the Divine Sense, spreading in all directions like tentacles, constantly sensing the movements in every direction.

Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s eyes widened sharply, a look of disbelief flashing across his gaze.

"Kitten!"

At his urgent shout, the kitten’s figure vanished into thin air again.

And just after Ye Zhen disappeared, Xuan Sheng’s figure appeared, off by only a hair, at the spot where Ye Zhen had vanished.

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Xuan Sheng shook the hazy light‑shadow in his hand again.

After that, Xuan Sheng was like a tail that couldn’t be shaken off, a nightmare clinging to Ye Zhen’s back.

Even though the kitten could instantly flee eight thousand li with its Innate Divine Ability Void-Breaking—

Xuan Sheng only needed a few breaths to catch up, and every time he could lock onto Ye Zhen’s position with pinpoint accuracy.

No matter how Ye Zhen changed direction, he couldn’t throw him off.

This shocked Ye Zhen immensely.

Ye Zhen was confident that there was absolutely no tracking mark placed on him by Xuan Sheng. If there had been, Xuan Sheng would have taken him down long ago.

There was no way he’d be chasing Ye Zhen across the whole world now.

After seven or eight attempts and still failing to shake Xuan Sheng, Ye Zhen’s expression grew extremely grave.

Against someone like Xuan Sheng, a Half-step Creation Realm expert, if Ye Zhen got caught, there would be absolutely no chance of survival.

He had to find a way to escape.

"Looks like I can only do this...."

Muttering under his breath, Ye Zhen had the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten use the Void-Breaking Divine Power twice in quick succession to buy himself a bit of time.

Then, with a move of his Divine Sense, a drop of Blood Light exploded, and the War Soul Blood Flag suddenly appeared in the void.

Ye Zhen planned to directly use the War Soul Blood Flag to open a passage to the Demon Soul Realm and escape Xuan Sheng’s pursuit.

The moment the War Soul Blood Flag appeared, as the Blood Light wrapped around Ye Zhen, a blood‑colored vortex, perceptible only to Ye Zhen, appeared out of thin air.

With a push of his Divine Sense, Ye Zhen was about to step into the blood‑colored vortex gate opened by the War Soul Blood Flag and return straight to the Demon Soul Realm.

But in that very instant, a look of unspeakable horror suddenly appeared on Ye Zhen’s face.

"You’ve got to be kidding me?"
