Chapter 2254: Heaven Reappears!

“No!”

Wang Chong did not aim his attack at Heaven, but the nearby head of An Lushan atop the hill.

“You dare?!”

Heaven’s enraged voice resounded through the world, and the heavens and earth shifted as an enormous energy erupted from the void and stopped Wang Chong.

At the same time, crack! Space fractured above the hill, a giant hand emerging from the fissure and grabbing An Lushan’s head.

This hand was so huge that it made the hill seem tiny and insignificant.

As Wang Chong and Zhang Shougui stared in shock, some hidden energy within An Lushan’s lifeless head seemed to be stimulated. With a soft hiss, the giant hand pulled out black wisps of energy from the head.

The black wisps of energy distorted in the air, forming into the twisted, savage, and pained face of a man that was identical to An Lushan.

“Impossible!”

Upon seeing An Lushan’s extracted soul, Zhang Shougui trembled in shock.

An Lushan had been beheaded, as dead as he could be. Zhang Shougui had never imagined that someone would be able to extract his soul from his corpse.

The soul was a forbidden zone for martial artists!

The power exhibited by this existence had already transcended the knowledge of human martial arts.

This was the domain of gods!

“Don’t even think about it! Put him down right now!”

The earth shuddered as Wang Chong used spacetime energy to instantly appear above that enormous hand and swing fiercely down with the Sword of God.

Bang!

There was a massive explosion as the Sword of God’s frightening power cut off one of the fingers of the hand. At the moment of impact, there was even a metallic clang.

But Wang Chong had been a step too slow. An Lushan’s head dropped to the ground, but his soul withdrew into the depths of spacetime along with the giant hand like a receding tide.

“Wang Chong, the Child of the World cannot die in your hands. I am taking his soul, and you two will meet again!” Heaven’s majestic voice drifted out from the depths of spacetime, and in the blink of an eye, his energy vanished along with An Lushan’s soul.

The world grew quiet, leaving only the sound of the howling wind.

Wang Chong stood atop the hill, his expression turning grim.

Behind him, Zhang Shougui also had a nasty scowl.

The two of them had never imagined this development, that the leader of the Celestial God Organization would appear, extract An Lushan’s soul, which should have already dispersed, and take it away.

“What do we do? If An Lushan can get a new body just like Genesis Supreme and come back, then all our effort has been in vain!” Zhang Shougui sternly said.

“It’s not that simple. An Lushan isn’t Genesis Supreme, and he doesn’t have that powerful of a soul. It isn’t that easy for Heaven to revive him. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to kill a single person in the Celestial God Organization!” Wang Chong said, maintaining an extremely calm demeanor.

He had killed numerous Immortals and Divine Lords of the Celestial God Organization, even two Supremes. If people were so easily revived, those people would have all been brought back.

The Celestial God Organization would have long ago seized control of the world and given him no chance.

Wang Chong acknowledged Heaven’s power, even that he was more powerful than the Sage Emperor, but he would not blindly believe him.

In Wang Chong’s mind, Heaven was still a human, not a god. Humans had their limits, and nothing could change that.

Wang Chong was certain that it would be a very long time until An Lushan reappeared.

It was just that Heaven’s sudden intervention left a great deal of bitterness.

Zhang Shougui fell silent. This argument made him somewhat more able to accept what had transpired.

An Lushan’s beheading had still left him greatly wounded, and he would not be able to so easily appear again. His and Wang Chong’s efforts had not been wasted.

“We’ll have to consider this matter seriously in the future. Heaven is too powerful, the Sage Emperor’s lifelong foe. Your actions just now were too risky. At this current stage, it’s not appropriate for us to directly contend against Heaven,” Zhang Shougui said as he thought back to the events just now.

As a veteran general of the empire, Zhang Shougui knew of what had happened in the Imperial City ten-some years ago when the Sage Emperor attempted to break into the Divine Martial realm. In truth, as one of the peak Great Generals of the empire, he had been called back to the capital to serve as a guard of the Imperial Palace.
