Chapter 510: Chapter 374: Suspicion? _2
In the central area where the monsters congregated, fourteen experts of the Divine Emperor's Realm waited with bated breath.
As Li Cheng and another arrived by flight, the fourteen simultaneously saluted, "We greet Supreme Li!"
Li Cheng clasped his hands towards the crowd, "Thank you for your efforts, from now on, please leave it to me!"
The fourteen had varied expressions, some feeling relieved while others were skeptical, their gazes turning towards Ji Xiaozhong shortly afterward.
Ji Xiaozhong coughed lightly, fearing that someone would voice their skepticism and anger Li Cheng, he hurriedly said, "Supreme Li is the junior brother of the Netherworld Ancestor, with him taking action, we can all relax completely!"
Upon hearing this, the few Divine Emperors who had been doubtful suddenly widened their eyes, the junior brother of the Netherworld Ancestor?
The Netherworld Ancestor was a terrifying being that surpassed the Divine Emperor's Realm, they all sensed the Netherworld Ancestor's aura, and it was utterly spine-chilling.
So, as the Netherworld Ancestor's junior brother, surely the name of Supreme Li as an Array Master was not an empty title!
Instantly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards Li Cheng with anticipative eyes.
Li Cheng, without a word, flew up to the clouds and stood there, quietly sensing his surroundings.
A moment later, Li Cheng's Divine Soul power surged, his divine sense enveloping the entire passage and quickly communicating with the forces between heaven and earth.
At the same time, Array Patterns surged around Li Cheng like a tide, spreading in all directions.
"Supreme Li has started arranging the Formation so quickly? I've heard that Array Masters need to observe the trends of heaven and earth before setting up a Formation, taking advantage of the situation, and this process will be quite long."
"That's just what you heard, how do you know what you heard is accurate? Right now, seeing is believing, just watch it happen!"
A group of Divine Emperors watched Li Cheng in the distant sky intently; almost none of them understood Formations, and even those who did had only a superficial understanding, or merely copied others without truly grasping the subtleties.
Seeing how effortlessly Li Cheng was arranging the Formation, they felt that it seemed quite straightforward.
"What level of Formation is Supreme Li arranging? I've heard that the higher the level of the Formation, the longer it takes."
Ji Xiaozhong nodded, "That is correct, but to fend off Divine Emperor's Realm experts from the God Race, we will need at least an eighth-level Divine Array, right? And for an eighth-level Divine Array, I reckon it would take at least a few years to set up."
"A few years? That's not good. The God Race's next attack will definitely be in a few days. They won't give Supreme Li several years to set up the Formation."
"Right, Clan Chief, what should we do? If the God Race invades, we can resist with all our strength, but this will surely interrupt Supreme Li's Formation arrangement, wouldn't all the previous effort be wasted then?"
This concern also troubled Ji Xiaozhong—indeed, what to do then?
After a few seconds of silence, Ji Xiaozhong's eyebrows furrowed, "Indeed, it seems we can only move the battlefield outward!"
If the God Race were attacking through this passage, then, by all means, they should pass through this passage and stop the God Race beyond it.
By doing so, they could buy Li Cheng some time.
Still, there were skeptics, "Clan Leader, just with our fifteen Divine Emperors, it's simply not possible to hold off the God Race for several years!"
Ji Xiaozhong clenched his fist, about to speak, but then he saw Li Cheng already returning, walking through the air with neither haste nor urgency.
With every step Li Cheng took, countless Array Patterns would emerge under his feet, and as he lifted his foot, those patterns disappeared, as if hiding in the void.
"Supreme Li has likely considered the time issue, wanting to discuss strategies with us before continuing with the Formation," Ji Xiaozhong said.
Everyone nodded, "Definitely, let's discuss it first!"
After hundreds of steps, Array Patterns no longer emerged under Li Cheng's feet.
Li Cheng exhaled relievedly and smiled, "I have successfully completed my task. Is there anyone who would like to give it a try?"
Huh?
The fifteen Divine Emperors looked at each other in disbelief. As Divine Emperors, they could not have misheard—Li Cheng said it was ready?
In such a short time, had Li Cheng set up a first-level Divine Array?
A first-level Divine Array could defend against Heaven Gods, but anything above that could break it with ease!
Supreme Li couldn't be joking, could he?
After speaking, Li Cheng waved his hand, and the Formation activated!
In an instant, the powerful forces within the clouds, as if drawn by something, poured down!
From the ground too, equally powerful forces soared to the sky!
In the blink of an eye, the two forces met, turning into a wave ripple that swept in all directions, enveloping the entire passage!
The next second, that vast power dissipated into nothing, as if nothing had ever happened.
"Is this a perfect Divine Array? Impossible to trace?" Ji Xiaozhong voiced his doubts.
"Why do I feel... like the setup failed?" someone expressed their skepticism.
Li Cheng naturally heard everyone's conversations but was too lazy to argue with them, after all, few from the Monster Race ever dabbled in formations.
The best way was to let them try it out for themselves.
"Clan Chief Ji, why don't you and the other Divine Emperors go in and try?" Li Cheng suggested.
Ji Xiaozhong gave a light cough and gestured to the others, "Let's go!"
With that, he took the lead and flew into the passage.

The others had no choice; since Li Cheng was the junior brother of the Netherworld Ancestor, even if they harbored doubts, it wouldn't be good to go against his will.
Let's give it a try then!
They thought that once they left the so-called Divine Array with ease, Li Cheng would realize what his formation truly amounted to.
As they flew through the passage, they distinctly felt as though they had lost contact with the outside world!
"He really did set up a formation? I thought it had failed!" someone began to communicate through voice transmission.
"But this seems like a formation that blocks sensing. What's the use of such a formation?"
"Clan Leader, with Supreme Li setting up this Divine Array in such a short time, could it be that..."
"Stop with the voice transmissions, test the formation!" Ji Xiaozhong hurriedly said.
He faintly sensed that everything about him seemed to be perceived, even his voice transmissions could be intercepted.
He trusted his feelings weren't wrong, which meant that Li Cheng could hear everyone's voice transmissions right now!
In fact, he had always been able to, right from the very beginning!
"Eh? Clan Leader, it seems like we're lost; why can't we see the younger generation outside anymore?" suddenly, someone exclaimed.
Ji Xiaozhong turned around to look and was also stunned. How could this happen?
They had just walked a few steps; where had the million-strong army gone?
"An illusion?" someone speculated.
"Let me handle this!" someone scoffed and stomped fiercely on the ground, and a terrifying Divine Power swept out.
It was probably just a first-grade Divine Array; this stomp would definitely shatter it easily.
But the next second, an even more powerful Divine Power rolled back, numbing the person's entire leg instantly!
He staggered, nearly losing his balance, and cried out in disbelief, "How is that possible?"
Ji Xiaozhong supported him, and the other Divine Emperors also turned their gaze to him. They all felt it—the ground not only rebounded his power but also brought forth the force from the earth, making the rebound many times stronger!
If that person hadn't held back his full strength, he might have been severely injured by the recoil!
"Don't attack the formation; this is a top-notch formation within the ninth-grade Divine Arrays. Even the power of Divine Emperor's Realm Complete can easily be rebounded. A slight misuse can result in death." Li Cheng's voice resounded throughout heaven and earth.
Everyone looked at each other at a loss; if they weren't to attack the Divine Array, how could they test it?
Could it be that this formation couldn't withstand the attack of a Divine Emperor, and Li Cheng was worried about being exposed, so he deliberately said this?
Thinking this, everyone seemed even more convinced that this was indeed the case.
Exchanging glances, Ji Xiaozhong saw the thoughts of the others: that they should attack with full force!
Seeing this, Ji Xiaozhong felt a sudden urge and quickly said, "Listen to Supreme Li, don't attack. In a few days, the God Race will attack, and then we can just sit back and watch."
That's right; in just a few days the God Race will come again, and then it would be enough to just watch. Why should they test it themselves?
If what Li Cheng said was true, then that would be truly unfortunate for them, so it would be best not to take this unnecessary risk.
Clearing his throat, Ji Xiaozhong said, "Supreme Li, it seems we can't really test anything here. Why don't we just wait for the God Race?"
"This Divine Array is both offensive and trapping. You all are at the Divine Emperor's Realm cultivation, try and see if you can get out," Li Cheng said casually.
Everyone was somewhat speechless inside. To be honest, they hadn't sensed any trace of an Array Pattern at all. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't see the younger generation when they turned around, they would definitely think Li Cheng was fooling them.
"I'll lower the difficulty and give you a direction!"
Li Cheng's voice rang out again, and in the next moment, the scene before everyone changed, and they saw the situation outside the passageway, with a million young recruits of the army guarding it.
