Chapter 327: The Way of Heaven – Divine Stele
"I've been an Immortality Cultivator for thousands of years. Are you really going to believe this kid who's only in his twenties?" Aiden said, clearly shocked.
The old leader stayed firm. He took another step closer to Johnnie.
For Aiden and Cameron, the Dragon Country's official side was very important. Many rare medicines and treasures that could extend their lives were all obtained through the official's efforts.
Without the Dragon Country's support, their life issues would become even worse.
So Aiden had to take a deep breath. He slowly spoke to Johnnie:
"Kid, let's talk about the Kantorin Seal later. Right now, our most important task is to join forces with the Haldrem Empire to fight the Six-Armed Demons.
Even if you're strong, you still can't beat the Six-Armed Demons alone."
"They're special. Ordinary elemental attacks don't hurt them much. And physical attacks have a hard time breaking through their defenses."
At this, Johnnie suddenly thought of the Lizardmen. It looked like these so-called Six-Armed Demons were also space raiders, just like the Lizardmen.
But the Lizardmen came to the Universe Continent through the broken sword in the Dragon King's hands. How did the Six-Armed Demons suddenly appear?
Johnnie kept the question in his mind. If he could fight the Lizardmen, then the Six-Armed Demons wouldn't be a big problem for him.
The Haldrem Empire? Unless they submitted to him, he'd never work with them.
"Cooperate? The first thing the Haldrem Empire does when in danger is try to take over our Montemar Empire." Johnnie said with a sneer. He laughed coldly and continued."Working with people like them is stupid. If you've already made contact with them, tell them — only by submitting can they have a chance to survive."
Aiden got angry. He hadn't expected Johnnie to refuse to work with the Haldrem Empire like this. That would force him and Cameron to change their plan.
Cameron patted Aiden on the shoulder, telling him to calm down.
He said calmly to Johnnie."Fine. Hope you don't regret this later. When you see how strong and dangerous the Six-Armed Demons are, it'll be too late to ask for our help."
"Ask for your help? That's funny. Only people with the same goals can work together. You guys should just go somewhere else." Johnnie said, watching Cameron and Aiden leave.
Douglas looked worried. He sighed and said."Johnnie, The Map of Heaven and Earth and the Kantorin Seal aren't as harmless as you think."
"You'll find out the real danger when you're about to become a god."
After saying that, Douglas left in the same direction as Cameron and Aiden.
Johnnie frowned slightly. Did The Map of Heaven and Earth and the Kantorin Seal really have some hidden dangers he hadn't seen?
Douglas had two divine essences but still hadn't become a god. Maybe he had discovered something dangerous.
Maybe the Saint's possession had something to do with the Celestial Mirror, The Map of Heaven and Earth, and the Kantorin Seal.
Johnnie shook his head. He was only at stage 7 now. It would be a long time before he reached stage 9 and became a Domain master. Plus, with his talent, he would probably break through to stage 10 or even higher before the heavenly tribulation of becoming a god.
And right now, the king of the Haldrem Empire, Lisa, had been defeated by him. She probably wouldn't attack again for a while.
Johnnie decided to go check out those so-called Six-Armed Demons. If he knew his enemy, he could win every battle.
Besides, maybe he could use this chance of the Six-Armed Demons' attack to take care of the Haldrem Empire, the Demonic Creatures, and even the Mechanical Race all at once.
After freeing Crysic and Cecilia from The Map of Heaven and Earth, Johnnie gave them a few words of advice. He told them not to leave The Chinese City unless there was something really important.
After he finished, he immediately called out his Void Sword and flew with it toward the Haldrem Empire's location — The Dark Forest.
Once he entered the forest, to avoid being noticed, he stopped flying and hid his presence.
As he moved deeper into the forest, he started running into enemies that clearly weren't from the Universe Continent.
They were tall, at least five meters tall. They had six arms, were bare-chested, and their skin had strange black patterns that glowed occasionally — very creepy and evil.
These must be the Six-Armed Demons that attacked the Haldrem Empire.
Johnnie sensed them carefully. Though they looked different from the Lizardmen, their energy was similar — full of aggression, evil, and a bloodthirsty nature.
Just as Johnnie was about to take on a few lone Six-Armed Demons to test their strength, a bright black light suddenly shot across the sky.
Johnnie quickly hid himself even more carefully.
Soon, the black light landed a short distance ahead.
It was a Six-Armed Demon over twenty meters tall, and his energy was incredibly strong — already at the level of a Lesser God.
"Lord Sadek, the remaining forces of the Haldrem Empire tried to attack the Montemar Empire, but they were defeated by a strong stranger we haven't identified yet." said one of the Six-Armed Demons, who was about ten meters tall.
Sadek, the Six-Armed Demon with the power of a Lesser God, waved it off. "What kind of strong guy? These creatures from the Universe Continent are weak. Don't worry about them."
"If that Haldrem Empire queen hadn't run away so fast, I would've caught her by now and enjoyed her."
Sadek said, lazily moving his six arms. He looked up at the sky, as if waiting for someone to show up.
Johnnie stayed hidden, not showing any emotion. He had a feeling something big was about to happen.
Sure enough, not long after, a figure appeared behind Sadek.
Johnnie, hiding in the shadows, frowned slightly. He felt like the figure's energy was familiar. After a moment, he suddenly remembered where he had felt it before.
Stellar City!
Back then, things were too urgent in The Chinese City, and he hadn't had time to check it out properly.
He never expected that a strong person from Stellar City would be standing with the Six-Armed Demons.
"Only the two of us?" the new figure asked, clearly annoyed.
Sadek looked around and said."They're not part of this mission. I'll go with you."
"The others are busy, and there aren't many strong players on the Universe Continent. This mission should be safe."
"Even if something goes wrong, we just need to hold on until the others arrive."
The Way of Heaven – Divine Stele?
Johnnie's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't know exactly what it was, but anything the enemy wanted to destroy, he had to protect.
He contacted Maiev and asked.
Maiev replied."Master, I don't know much about The Way of Heaven – Divine Stele, but I do know that if it gets destroyed, all the players on the Universe Continent will lose their game protection."
Johnnie took a deep breath. He hadn't expected that a strong person from Stellar City was working with the Six-Armed Demons to do something like this.
If they succeeded, the Universe Continent would be in big trouble!
He had to find a way to stop this from happening.
At that moment, Sadek suddenly said."Enough. Let's get going already."
"Also, I really don't like the way you look now. Why not just stay as you are? Why pretend to be some weak creature?"
The strong person from Stellar City sighed and raised his hand.
He quickly drew it across his body, and just like taking off a coat, he peeled off his skin.
A Lizardman appeared right there!
"Weak? You're being too arrogant. The Universe Continent still has strong people. Not long ago, my people met someone with the Power of the Way, and we suffered a lot of losses!" The Lizardman said angrily, taking a deep breath.
He had been hiding in Stellar City for years, thinking that once his people showed up, they could destroy the Divine Stele and take over the whole Universe Continent.
Who would have thought that a weak-looking guy would have a power only a Divine King could use?
He had no choice but to work with the Six-Armed Demons, promising to give them territory and resources in return.
Sadek sneered."Don't try to make excuses for your weakness. If I met that guy you're talking about, I'd show you how I'd kill him."
"Come on. The Divine Stele is in a hidden place not far from the Dark Forest. Let's go."
The Lizardman urged.
The Six-Armed Demon and the Lizardman flew into the air and quickly moved toward a certain direction.
Johnnie followed them quietly.
The two didn't fly too fast, so Johnnie had to slow down and keep a safe distance.
After about an hour, they finally stopped above a valley that looked completely normal.
"Here it is." the Lizardman said. "Be careful. From what I've heard over the years, there are guardians living in the hidden place."
The Six-Armed Demon didn't care. He just said."So what? Even a Core God wouldn't beat me!"
"Open the hidden place quickly. I can't wait to kill everyone inside and eat them all!"
The Six-Armed Demon licked his lips, his eyes glowing red with excitement.
The Lizardman looked around, then landed near the valley entrance and pulled out a small stone the size of a palm.
Suddenly, invisible waves appeared. The whole valley started to shake, and the ground cracked open with big gaps.
