Eternal Reverence

In the hall, there were two shamanic puppets.

The qi presence emitted from them were obviously at the level of a heaven lord.

Boom!

Werewolf Li Fuchen and the shamanic puppets started to exchange moves.

A terrifying wave spread out and Li Fuchen felt difficulty in breathing.

"The speed is becoming much slower." Li Fuchen frowned.

The two shamanic puppets were enveloped in a powerful Static Field. Werewolf Li Fuchen's attack speed was slowed down by more than two times and it also significantly reduced the attack power.

"According to the circumstances, these must be supreme rate shamanic puppets."

Li Fuchen stood at the corner of the hall and observed the battle.

As a newly progressed heaven lord, Werewolf Li Fuchen was indeed very strong. His darkness energy had the ability to absorb attacks. However, there were also advantages and disadvantages. While the darkness energy was absorbing attacks, it was also being exhausted significantly. Without any surprises, this battle would be unimaginably long. Being able to eliminate these two shamanic puppets in one year was already the best outcome.

One month.

Three months.

Six months.

One year.

The battle still continued.

Anyone of these shamanic puppets was stronger than the Iron Horn Heaven Lord. Adding to the fact that they were impervious to weapons and didn't have any weak points, Werewolf Li Fuchen had great difficulty in this battle.

One and a half years later, the shamanic puppets' energy was finally starting to weaken.

Seeing the situation, Li Fuchen let out a breath of relief.

Only heaven lords were able to deal with these supreme rate shamanic puppets.

If it was Li Fuchen, even if he had the strength, he wouldn't be able to persist for so long without a supreme rate bloodline. His sword energy would definitely be exhausted.

Two years and ten days… One of the shamanic puppets turned into a pile of shamanic armor and weapon.

Two years and eighteen days… the second shamanic puppet had also crumbled.

"Let me recover first." Werewolf Li Fuchen sat with crossed legs.

When the output was smaller than the input, a heaven lord's energy would be infinite. But when output was greater than input, even a heaven lord's energy would be depleted.

With more than two years, Werewolf Li Fuchen's energy was nearly depleted. If the battle extended for another one or two months, he would need to fight by burning his source.

Li Fuchen nodded, he naturally knew about Werewolf Li Fuchen's condition. He was rejoicing and felt fortunate that the shamanic puppets didn't last longer. Otherwise, if Werewolf Li Fuche nhad to burn his source to fight, the price paid would be too much.

After picking up a set of shamanic armors, Li Fuchen extended his spiritual awareness inside. As expected, it was a set of low-grade supreme rate shamanic armor. The value was probably on par with a set of mid-grade supreme rate armor.

Li Fuchen reckoned that if it was put on an auction, it would definitely be sold for 1 or 2 billion.

"If I wear this shamanic armor set, I should be able to contest with weaker heaven lords." Li Fuchen said to himself.

As of now, it was unprecedented for any saint lord to defeat a heaven lord. Not even for the god race's saint lord. It was unrelated to talent or perception, after all, the difference between saint lords and heaven lords wasn't cultivation. It was a difference of realms. A heaven lord was at a realm that was high and supreme, it wasn't possible for even prodigies to skip realms in combat.

There was never an incident when a saint lord defeated a heaven lord, however, there were many incidents when saint lords managed to escape from heaven lords. It was determined whether saint lords had any incredible artifacts, like supreme rate Sacrificial Puppets or supreme rate shamanic scrolls, or others.

Without a powerful artifact, then it would be determined by the special abilities.

In the universe, there were millions of races and each race had its own unique trait. Each individual also had their own speciality.

Take the halo race for example. They didn't have a real body and were hardest to kill. The Time Sand City's Saint Lord Rankings' 2nd ranker, Scarlet Halo Saint Lord, was from the halo race. It was said that he once fought against a heaven lord. He suffered defeat, but still managed to escape and survive. (TL note: Scarlet Spirit Saint Lord changed to Scarlet Halo Saint Lord)

Or take the blood race as an example. They were able to transform into countless little bats and as long as one single bat could escape, they would be able to rise up again.

Putting aside other races, just take the human race as an example. Some of the unparalleled saint lords were proficient in void dao. Some unparalleled saint lords were even proficient in space-time dao. These saint lords had great chances to escape from heaven lords.

In short, to escape from a heaven lord, it wasn't just dependent on strength, it was also dependent on escape methods.

As a swordsman, Li Fuchen was adept at frontal combat and was naturally inferior in escape methods. His void dao wasn't so proficient and it would be a joke to use it in front of a heaven lord.

With a set of supreme rate shamanic armor, Li Fuchen believed he could fight against weaker heaven lords. If he had some escape artifacts, he might be able to retreat unscathed against heaven lords.

Next up, Li Fuchen picked up the shamanic weapons.

Low-grade supreme rate shamanic weapons had a higher value than low-grade supreme rate weapons. However, they were slightly inferior to mid-grade supreme rate weapons. Their estimated value would be around 100 to 200 million peak-grade spirit stones.

"It is a pity there isn't any sword."

The two supreme rate shamanic weapons were a saber and ax.

"That's right. I have the Joint-Heaven Sword, why do I need the shamanic sword?" Li Fuchen let out a laugh.

The Joint-Heaven Sword was a high-grade supreme rate weapon and its value was more than an entire set of low-grade supreme rate shamanic armor.

Finally, Li Fuchen's eyes landed on the table. There was a scroll on it.

It was the Curse of Sun scroll, but it was of a higher grade than the previous one he obtained. It was probably a mid-grade supreme rate scroll.

In the outside world, low-grade supreme rate scrolls corresponded with regular heaven lords. High-grade supreme rate scrolls corresponded with city lord-level heaven lords. Extreme-grade supreme rate scrolls would be corresponded with star domain-level heaven lords. It also meant that the mid-grade Curse of Sun scroll had the power of an all-out attack from a formidable regular heaven lord.

If it was used properly, it could injure weaker regular heaven lords.

"Not bad."

Li Fuchen was very satisfied. He required an artifact like this which could turn the tables around in a fight.

After spending a huge amount of peak-grade spirit stones, Werewolf Li Fuchen finally recovered some energy. The darkness source would constantly produce energy, therefore, he didn't need to rely on the peak-grade spirit stones.

"Each of us shall have one set." Li Fuchen distributed one set of shamanic armor to Werewolf Li Fuchen.

The werewolf race might have tough defenses, and their darkness energy could also absorb attacks, but who would not want more defense? The tougher the defenses, the better.

"Alright." Werewolf Li Fuchen received the shamanic armor set and wore it.

After wearing it, he wouldn't be able to transform as he desired.

Of course, after reaching the level of a heaven lord, the differences between transforming and not transforming weren't significant.

As compared to the defense provided by the shamanic armor, the increase in strength during transformation wouldn't be as important.

…

"It is getting increasingly dangerous."

Li Fuchen frowned. He felt that Werewolf Li Fuchen couldn't protect him anymore. If it wasn't for the spirit soul power, there were several close shaves where he was nearly struck by shaman arts.

"It is true that riches are found in danger, but a person needs to know when is enough."

After letting out a breath, Li Fuchen decided to leave the Shaman Progenitor Ruins.

His rewards were sufficient. If he still wasn't satisfied, he might be killed because of his own greed.

The duo returned quickly using the same route they came.

Shortly after, they arrived at the vicinity of a teleportation platform.

Buzz!

The teleportation platform was activated and the duo were teleported out of the Shaman Progenitor Ruins.
