I have a city in another world

The statue, suspended in mid-air, glared at the mercenary cultivators who had intruded into the secret realm, and let out a deafening roar filled with rage.

When the roar sounded, the mercenaries' souls trembled violently, and their bodies went limp to the point of almost collapsing and rotting.

The terrifying pressure made the participating cultivators realize instantly that what they had been waiting for had finally happened.

The gods hidden in the secret realm finally appeared to join the battle, attempting to strike back at the invaders.

Such a terrifying aura is indeed frightening and despairing, giving one a feeling that great calamity is about to befall them.

However, some cultivators, while panicked, also felt doubtful, sensing that this wave of divine pressure seemed somewhat weak.

Astral practitioners possess a unique advantage: they have more opportunities to come into contact with deities.

High-ranking wizards are no strangers to the oppressive aura of the gods and have a certain ability to discern it.

Observing the divine statue in mid-air, the high-level cultivators couldn't help but suspect that there seemed to be something wrong with this unknown deity.

Indeed, the statue is not the actual deity, but merely an avatar of the deity.

Tang Zhen saw through its true nature the moment it appeared.

Originally intending to kill the original body, what appeared was a clone, and it was incomplete.

The fact that it could not descend as a true avatar, but instead possessed a broken statue, might indicate that the opponent's power was extremely weak.

Weakened to this extent, it shouldn't have sent out any clones. Did it think that it could scare away powerful enemies who dared to attack the secret realm with such a means?
According to Tang Zhen's guess, the suddenly appearing clone was very likely a pre-set feature.

When a crisis occurs, the clone will automatically appear to protect the safety of the secret realm.

When this defensive measure was set up, they probably never expected to encounter such an embarrassing situation.

The extremely weak clone was unable to successfully descend and could only use the broken statue to perform a miracle.

Encountering ordinary cultivators might have a deterrent effect, or even frighten away invading enemies.

This mercenary group is excessively powerful, with a large number of high-level wizards involved.

High-ranking wizards are knowledgeable and can see through the illusions of idols.

The imposing appearance of the statue did not intimidate the high-ranking wizards; instead, it gradually gave rise to a mocking, spectator-like mentality.

The command team immediately locked onto the aerial statue, but did not rush to launch an attack.

Although the divine avatar is not the original, it still possesses immense power and must be killed with a single blow.

Not to mention, at this moment, they received Tang Zhen's request not to attack the clone for the time being.

Tang Zhen made this request in order to leave the opportunity to attack to himself, thereby obtaining the origin of the divine avatar.

While undergoing fundamental changes, it is also possible to use secret techniques to track and locate the hiding place of the true deity.

Under normal circumstances, even if Tang Zhen found a hiding place, he should not risk his life.

That is a powerful god, an existence that cannot be easily offended. Even when severely injured and weakened, it can still easily kill any ant that dares to offend it.

However, at this moment, in order to gain more benefits, Tang Zhen did not mind taking risks.

Now only he knows that the deity is extremely weak, so weak that even a seventh-level cultivator could kill it.

An ordinary seventh-level cultivator certainly couldn't do this; only Tang Zhen could.

At this moment, Tang Zhen once again became the focus of everyone's attention.

At this moment, the demigod statue confronted Tang Zhen across the void, the difference in their sizes being extremely vast.

Compared to the enormous statue, Tang Zhen's size was like an ant, as if he could be blown away with a single breath.

Onlookers could clearly sense the terrifying aura emanating from this tiny figure.

In comparison, the aura released by Tang Zhen was actually slightly stronger than that of the divine avatar. Witnessing this scene, many cultivators were astonished and wondered if they had sensed something wrong.

How could a seventh-level cultivator possess such a terrifying aura, even surpassing that of a divine avatar?

The doubts about Tang Zhen vanished in an instant, replaced by a deep sense of anticipation.

At this moment, they might truly witness the sight of mortals slaying gods.

In the ethereal void, several other figures were also watching the battlefield.

Seeing the divine avatar appear, these figures were not surprised, as they had already guessed that this would happen.

However, the divine avatar that could only descend by relying on the broken statue surprised the group of figures in the void.

The descending divine avatars were something they were very familiar with, but they had never seen them so shabby.

This beggar-like clone truly disgraced the gods, resembling a phoenix that had lost all its feathers.

As a spiritual cultivator, witnessing this scene evokes an indescribable sense of desolation.

Although they have no relation to each other, they feel a sense of shared fate and a touch of sadness and fear upon seeing a deity in such a state of disgrace.

However, at the same time, deep doubts also arose, and it was hard to understand why the other party would do this.

Is he truly extremely weak, or is he deliberately feigning weakness while actually concealing a deadly trump card?

If one falls into the trap, one will inevitably pay a heavy price.

Of course, it is also possible that the deity was truly extremely weak, which is why he appeared in such a wretched state.

If that's the case, then it's an excellent opportunity to strike. If we successfully kill him, we'll definitely reap many benefits.

The gods in the void now realized that Tang Zhen was not making baseless accusations.

His large-scale and elaborate attack suggests that he may indeed know the specifics of the situation.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, cultivators would never provoke gods, as doing so would be courting death.

Tang Zhen was only a seventh-level cultivator, so he certainly didn't have that kind of powerful ability and couldn't possibly know the true situation of the hidden deity.

However, the entity behind him was capable of knowing this and had been secretly protecting him.

At this moment, the Creators finally understood the cause and effect, and realized why Tang Zhen had appeared here.

It was clearly the entity behind him paving the way in advance, helping to pave a smooth path to godhood.

If Tang Zhen were to personally kill a god, he would have a chance to obtain a complete divine status.

After continuing their cultivation and meeting the appropriate conditions, once the divine spark is fully refined, they will have the opportunity to directly ascend to godhood.

Such a smooth path to cultivation is enough to make any cultivator envious and strive for it at all costs.

However, such an opportunity cannot be obtained simply by working hard enough; one must have a powerful backer to pave the way.

Clearly, Tang Zhen has such a powerful backer, and the deity in this secret realm is the prey.

To ensure Tang Zhen's success, this behind-the-scenes figure was indeed quite attentive, even taking action to teach the two creators a lesson.

In this way, other creators are warned not to act recklessly.

The fate of the two creators could not be completely concealed, and the creators of other chambers of commerce gradually learned of it as well.

Faced with the terrifying river of time, the creators dared not act rashly and chose to observe and follow in secret.

Even at this moment, when they suspected that a weak and seriously injured god might be hiding in the secret realm, and a strong desire arose in their hearts, they still dared not make any rash moves.

They were terrified that they might inadvertently provoke Tang Zhen's powerful backer, unleashing that terrifying river of time. (End of Chapter)
