God of Pets

Chapter 973 Begging Him
Longyue's own cultivation level has advanced further, and no matter who the secret spirit guarding the gate of the Sky Garden is, she is confident that she can fight it.

Even against a Sky Spirit of Moqin's caliber, she could give it her all.

Moreover, with Chen Guan by her side, Longyue felt she had some external support, so her confidence was much stronger than before.

Mi Xiang, however, was not as confident as she was, wondering who the secret spirit guarding the gate of the Sky Garden might be.

Previously, the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers was the one who suppressed the gates of the Sky Garden. Mi Xiang once fought against her and separated the Serpent Clan from the Sky City.

The Flower Fairy's abilities are quite unique; Longyue's abilities are countered by hers, while Mixiang's abilities are precisely the counter to the Flower Fairy's.

But if the gatekeeper isn't the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers, then who will be guarding the gate?
Mi Xiang thought of many mysterious spirits, but she couldn't be sure.

Chen Guan kept looking at the Sky Gardens along the way. The closer they got to the Sky Gardens, the more they felt its magnificence.

When they reached the entrance beneath the Hanging Gardens, the gardens appeared as a giant, hollowed-out planet atop the pillars of the pagoda.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the pagoda's pillars did not actually touch the Sky Garden; the Sky Garden was suspended there—a truly authentic Sky Garden.

From a distance, it appears as a thin, pagoda-like pillar, but up close, it resembles a colossal pillar reaching for the sky, larger than any mountain Chen Guan had ever seen before.

At the very top of that giant pillar, a figure sat cross-legged, with the entrance to the Hanging Gardens just above his head.

When Chen Guan and the other two saw the figure clearly, their faces showed shock.

"The Soul Devouring God!" Chen Guan exclaimed inwardly.

He didn't think he could defeat the Soul Devourer God, because he had seen how the Soul Devourer God had taken away the Heavenly King. Chen Guan couldn't even fathom the level of that power and realm.

Chen Guan always felt that even in the Sky Secret Realm, the Soul Devouring God should be at the top of the food chain, one of the most powerful Sky Secret Spirits, or perhaps the only one.

But the fact that he was now guarding the gates of the Sky Gardens surprised Chen Guan.

If a being like the Devouring Spirit God isn't considered a top-tier combatant among the Sky Mystic Spirits, then how strong must the top-tier combatants of the Sky Mystic Realm be?

At this moment, only despair remained in Longyue and Mixiang's eyes.

Moqin is known as the undefeated spirit because her ability allows her to never fail; if she fails, she can try again.

However, this does not mean that Moqin is invincible.

In fact, the Twin Celestial Fish Clan is only one of the top-tier Mystic Spirit races in Sky City. There are twenty-three other top-tier Mystic Spirit races like the Twin Celestial Fish Clan in Sky City.

The powerful individuals of those top races have different abilities, and there is no record of them fighting to the death against each other, so it is hard to say who is stronger or weaker.

The twenty-four races, including the Twin Celestial Fish Clan, represent the pinnacle of combat power in the Sky Secret Realm, but there are always exceptions.

The Soul Devourer God is an exception. He does not belong to any of the twenty-four Sky Mystic Spirit races, and he doesn't even have a race. This is because among the Mystic Spirits of the Soul Devourer God lineage, there is only himself. He has no branches, let alone any of his own kind.

However, even the strongest beings of the twenty-four top races dared not easily provoke the Soul Devouring God, and even kept it a closely guarded secret.

The project "The Descent of the Sky Spirits" and all related matters are also handled by the Soul Devourer God.

Apart from that, the Soul Devourer God hardly participates in the affairs of Sky City and Sky Secret Realm. Even in the votes of many Sky City residents, the Soul Devourer God basically abstains and has never participated. Generally, the secret spirits do not have much of a sense of his existence.

However, high-ranking figures like Longyue and Mixiang were well aware that the Soul Devouring God was an extremely terrifying existence. Even a powerful figure like Moqin was likely inferior to the Soul Devouring God, and might even be significantly weaker. This was because they both knew that when humans stormed into the Sky Secret Realm, it caused considerable trouble.

All races sent their top-tier spirits to fight, but humanity grew stronger with each battle in the Sky Realm, almost to the point of being out of control.

It was the Devouring Spirit God who intervened and suppressed the humans who had invaded the Sky Secret Realm.

In that battle, Moqin was just one of the top-tier Mystic Spirits who participated. At that time, all the top-tier Sky Mystic Spirit races participated in the battle, including Mixiang and Longyue.

They were unable to suppress humanity, which shows how powerful the Soul Devouring God was.

The Soul Devouring God wouldn't have intervened unless it was related to the secret realm of the earth.

So when they saw that it was the Soul Devourer God guarding the gate of the Sky Garden, they all felt despair.

Even though Longyue had reached a higher level of cultivation, she did not believe she had any chance of defeating the Soul Devourer.

"Devouring God, why are you the one guarding the gate to the Sky Garden?" Longyue asked through gritted teeth.

The Soul Devourer sat atop the tower, eyes closed, as if in deep meditation, showing no reaction whatsoever.

Longyue knew she had no chance, but she was unwilling to give up and wanted to go up, but her arm was pulled by Mixiang beside her.

Mi Xiang shook her head slightly at Long Yue, who had turned around, but Long Yue reached out to move Mi Xiang's hand away, gritting her teeth as she said, "You should understand what it means for the Soul Devourer God to be guarding the gates of the Sky Garden here."

Upon hearing this, Mi Xiang released her grip, understanding perfectly what it meant.

The presence of the Soul Devouring God here indicates that Sky City is determined not to allow any race to withdraw, and also suggests that this Sky Descent Day will definitely not be so simple.

In fact, this Skyfall Day was not the originally scheduled date.

The last Sky Descent Day was the true Sky Descent Day, but because the Emperor Ancestor invaded the Sky Secret Realm, the last descent failed to occur.

This time it's just to make up for the failure of the last Sky Descends Day, but no one knows just how strong the Earth Spirits and humans have become this time.

Nearly a thousand years ago, the humans who invaded and the mystical spirits they commanded were already this powerful; it's hard to say what they'll be like now.

After Mi Xiang let go, Long Yue glanced at Chen Guan, then turned and flew towards the entrance below the Sky Garden.

Her body directly entered a state of no leakage, transforming into a black hole once more, while the secret treasure and secret realm halo were also activated.

Longyue, who had not used any secret treasures, now held a string of prayer beads in her hand. Each bead of the prayer beads was like a black hole, as if even light could hardly escape from them.

Longyue twirled her prayer beads, snapped her fingers, and vanished instantly, seemingly having already entered the Hanging Gardens.

The Soul Devourer God opened his eyes at some point, and a figure was reflected in them. The body of Long Yue, who had disappeared, also appeared in front of him. As if her throat was being gripped by fate, she was suspended in the air, her hands covering her neck, seemingly trying desperately to break free from something, but she could not break free no matter what she did.

Chen Guan and Mi Xiang were both shocked. Even someone as strong as Long Yue seemed to have no ability to resist the Devouring Spirit God.

"You want to enter the Hanging Gardens?" The Soul Devourer finally spoke, but his gaze shifted from Long Yue to Chen Guan on the walkway below, and he said indifferently, "Then ask him."
