Chapter 1834: 1834
Zhang Xuan's injuries had been caused by the Ordeal of Lightning Armament . Many of his vital organs, muscles, and meridians had been destroyed, and it was only due to the overwhelming vitality and the Heaven's Path zhenqi in his body that he had been able to prevent his physical state from deteriorating any further .
His very foundations had been destroyed, such that he could not heal himself using ordinary means . In a sense, his current condition was similar to that of Vicious and Sovereign Chen Yong . He could only allow time to do its work and repair his tattered foundations, and there was no way to accelerate the process .
But just because he was unable to do it did not mean that others were incapable of doing so!
The wounds that Sovereign Chen Ling had sustained were even more severe than his, but the other party was still able to recover swiftly through the use of the altar . Was it possible for him to tap into the same power?
"I was nearly killed when I tried to barge into the ritual earlier . It's likely that the deity summoned by the ritual identifies one through one's soul aura and energy…"
An idea suddenly sprouted in Zhang Xuan's mind, and he swiftly began to calculate the chances of pulling it off .
He did not know whether he could use the energy bestowed by the deity of heal his injuries, but just approaching the ritual posed a problem . Earlier, when he tried to barge in to terminate the ritual, a powerful force had nearly wiped him off the face of the world .
Even with the recent surge in his fighting prowess to a level comparable to a Blood Reincarnation realm primary stage expert, he could tell that he would still stand no chance against that powerful force . It would simply end in his annihilation .
In other words, he would have to find other means to bypass the detection of the deity .
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up . "Disguising as Sovereign Chen Ling! As long as my aura and bloodline are identical to his, such that even the deities are unable to tell the difference between the both of us, I will be able to absorb the energy descending upon the pedestal . "
Even if brute force failed, he still had a trick up his sleeve—the disguise amulet that Luo Ruoxin had given him .
It was something that he could use even after he had turned into a skeleton .
"Let me give it a try!"
Unable to curb his excitement, Zhang Xuan activated the amulet, and he swiftly warped into Sovereign Chen Ling's form . Be it in terms of external appearance or soul aura, there was no way that one could tell the difference between him and the real one .
"Young Master?" Sovereign Chen Yong asked doubtfully .
He had been following the Spirit God all along, so he knew about the existence of the disguise amulet . However, he was a little perplexed as to why the Young Master would suddenly choose to disguise himself as Sovereign Chen Ling .
"Un . " Zhang Xuan nodded in response with a slight smile .
With his tall and graceful stature, he discreetly flitted over to the dimension rift in the air .
Weng weng weng!
The ripples of power that had previously kept him away showed no sign of warding him off . Just like that, he managed to slip into the ritual without any trouble .
"As expected, it works!" Zhang Xuan trembled in agitation .
It seemed like the disguise amulet that Luo Ruoxin had given him was at a higher level than whatever deity Sovereign Chen Ling was summoning . As such, even the deity was unable to see through his disguise .
"Hahaha!"
Standing right beneath the dimension rift, Zhang Xuan absorbed a bit of the energy descending from above . In an instant, his physical body began recovering at a visible rate, and his fatigued spirit was nourished and healed as well .
"At this rate, I'll be able to return to my peak within ten minutes . Perhaps, I might even be able to further my cultivation…" Zhang Xuan's eyes shone brilliantly .
Despite his severe wounds, Zhang Xuan was in a far more advantageous position than Sovereign Chen Ling . Both his youth and the unique nature of the Heaven's Path zhenqi allowed for faster recovery . Even when they were both in the same environment, chances were that he would be able to recover much faster than Sovereign Chen Ling .
Thus, he began devouring the energy ravenously as if a parched traveler who had stumbled upon an oasis .
"You…"
Just moments after Zhang Xuan began absorbing the energy, he sensed a pair of sharp eyes staring heatedly at him . Turning to look, he saw Sovereign Chen Ling glaring at him with a vile look on his face .
The bestowal of the deity's blessing was a sacred formality of the ritual, and making a move at this very moment was absolutely prohibited . Otherwise, if he incurred the wrath of the deity, he would be torn apart . As such, all he could do was glare at Zhang Xuan murderously .
But… watching as that fellow snatched away the energy that was intended for his recovery, Sovereign Chen Ling's heart ached so badly that he could hardly hold his anger back .
How in the world did a sack of bones disguise so impeccably as him, such that even the deities were unable to see through his disguise? Just what in the world was going on?
Can anyone tell me what's going on?
Who am I? Where am I?
