I Am Really Not The Son of Providence Chapter 397 – Brother Shen Definitely Likes Me!

Although Princess Linglong's cultivation level was only at the Nascent Soul stage, she possessed the Linglong Sage Body and cultivated the supreme sword technique Black Sky Sword Art, which was as powerful as an imperial sutra.

That greatly enhanced Princess Linglong's attack prowess!

The power of that strike was enough to threaten even a Heavenly Venerable!

The sword aura descended from the sky like a shooting star which lit up the entire North Sea!

Dozens of towering water pillars were destroyed by that sword aura and sprayed all over.

The sword aura did not stop there. It continued flying toward that ferocious dragonfish.

Clang!

The sword aura slashed onto the dragonfish, but dozens of bone spikes suddenly appeared, forming a wall made of bone spikes.

The bone spikes blocked the sword aura, and only a few cracks were formed.

“This beast's defense is actually so strong!”

Shi Linglong's tone turned solemn. She had never thought that a strike in which she had poured all her strength would actually be unable to penetrate that ferocious beast's defense!

That dragonfish's bone spikes were extremely sturdy—they could even be compared to a supreme-grade Spirit artifact.

A ferocious peak Mighty Prowess beast was indeed difficult to deal with.

“Why would such a powerful, ferocious beast without spirituality be in North Sea's depths?”

Shi Linglong was puzzled. One would be counted as a powerful cultivator if they were able to reach the peak of the Soul Formation stage.

However, this ferocious beast had no signs of intelligence at all. It was as if someone had erased its intellect and only left its bloodthirst for slaughter?

Shi Linglong was in deep thought, but the ferocious beast had already attacked once again.

A violent aura erupted from the beast's body. It caused the sea to surge and formed huge waves as if wanting to swallow everything.

The waves that were as tall as 10,000 feet pressed on toward Shi Linglong with imposing momentum.

“Feng Wu!” Shi Linglong shouted, and that red-haired loli instantly took action.

Huff!

Feng Wu puffed her cheeks and suddenly blew out blazing Divine Phoenix Fire, which instantly turned into a huge fireball as it was shot out.

Rumble!

When the fireball and water curtain collided, endless white mist was formed.

“You beast, you deserve a good beating!”

“Phoenix Flame Meteorite!”

The red-haired loli was furious, and the Phoenix avatar behind her became even more corporeal as if wanting to spread its wings and screech.

Blazing flames were shot out from the Phoenix Avatar, emitting a majestic and powerful aura like that of a flame meteor falling.

Divine Phoenix Fire burned brightly as if it wanted to burn the whole space into nothingness.

The rain of fire landed and instantly covered the dragonfish!

“Awoo!”

The dragonfish was in pain. Its body was burnt black, and even the aroma of cooked meat could be vaguely smelled.

The Divine Phoenix Fire had endless power. Even a peak Mighty Prowess ferocious beast suffered quite the heavy burns.

“Good job, Feng Wu!” Shi Linglong was elated. “That's right, continue using flames to attack!”

Roar!

A savage roar resounded.

The ferocious beast seemed to be angered and instantly became violent. Its originally red pupils turned scarlet like a blood moon.

Dong, dong, dong!

That dragonfish suddenly charged forward. Its huge body was like a lofty mountain that weighed a few megatons and could crush humans into a bloody paste.

The surrounding seawater was split into two.

The dragonfish swam smoothly without any obstructions, which made it appear to be terrifying.

Shi Linglong narrowed her eyes and lifted her sword as she faced the ferocious beast that was charging toward her viscously. She leaped and swung her Star Linglong Sword as if she was dancing elegantly and nimbly, forming an immense sword aura!

In that instant, countless sword auras were produced once again, merged to form a sword aura net, and engulfed the dragonfish.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

The sword aura split the surrounding sea into two and revealed a land of nothingness. The sword aura net's piercing force seemed to want to slice the engulfed dragonfish into pieces.

Surprisingly, the dragonfish curled up its body and exposed countless sharp bone spikes.

Clang, clang, clang!

The bone spikes blocked every sword aura—they couldn't break through the bone spikes at all!

Chi!

At that moment, a ray of light erupted from the dragonfish's body. It was a sharp bone spike with a fearsome aura that could tear apart a Heavenly Venerable's body with crushing force.

Clang!

Shi Linglong swung her sword to block, but she was pushed backward, and the aura around her started to boil.

Although she was able to contend against normal Heavenly Venerable, it was beyond her power to battle such a peak Demon Venerable beast, whose physical body was incomparably powerful.

The dragonfish's attack did not stop there. Its bone spikes were shaking, and once it gave out a roar, it shot them out of its body.

The fabrics of space trembled as the bone spikes rained down. It was as if the fabrics of space were unable to withstand such strength and about to collapse.

“Oh no!”

Shi Linglong's expression changed. That aura was just too terrifying, and she could not block it at all.

At that moment, a golden light flashed. It was as fast as golden lightning and had instantly appeared in front of Shi Linglong.

Boom!

A loud thud echoed as a heavy punch was unleashed, shattering the fabrics of space in the process.

The fearsome fist collided with the bone spikes and instantly smashed them into pieces, sending their fragments flying in all directions.

Shi Linglong's jaws dropped as she witnessed this.

“What a powerful punch!” she exclaimed.

That bone spikes, which even she found hard to block, were actually smashed into pieces by this golden figure?

The golden light gradually disappeared, and that figure became visible. It was a man with a slender figure and wearing Golden Divine Armor. His side profile, which was vaguely revealed, was extremely handsome, just like the most meticulous masterpiece of the heavens. Shi Linglong became infatuated the more she looked at him.

“Saint Shen Tian!” exclaimed Shi Linglong, excitement spreading over her face.

She never expected the person who appeared in front of her to be the Divine Firmament Saint, who had disappeared half a month ago.

After learning that the Divine Firmament Saint had been trapped within the turbulent void, Shi Linglong had been extremely worried.

She had hurriedly sent a message to her father, asking him to send people and search for Shen Tian in the turbulent void.

However, there had been no news until now.

Now that Shen Tian had actually appeared in front of her and even blocked the ferocious beast's attack, Shi Linglong's heart instantly fluttered… and her imagination ran wild.

“Princess, are you alright?” asked Shen Tian as he turned his head around.

“Thank you, Saint, for helping me. I am fine.”

Upon seeing that Shen Tian was worried about her, Shi Linglong blushed, and her heart could not help but skip a beat.

Why did the Divine Firmament Saint appear here?

Is it possible that he came to save me after learning that I was in danger!?

Looks like he really cares about me~

Roar!

At that moment, the dragonfish attacked once again. Its scarlet pupils turned vicious after its attack was blocked. It suddenly charged toward Shen Tian, leaving a trail of bloody light behind it.

“Be careful. Saint. That ferocious beast's body is extremely sturdy, so you should not face it head-on,” Shi Linglong warned.

She knew clearly just how fearsome that ferocious beast's body was—even her Black Sky Sword Art was unable to pierce through it.

“It's alright. I'm also very curious just how strong my physical body is. Also, I've had enough of being beaten up in the past month.”

Shen Tian could not help but complain. He had been extremely miserable in the past half a month as he had been at a disadvantage during the high-intensity “cultivation session” with the Immortal Phoenix Queen. She had completely overpowered him.

There was no choice—the Immortal Phoenix Queen liked the feeling of being set high above the masses.

Therefore, Shen Tian had been unable to vent out his frustration during the past half a month.

Since this ferocious beast had appeared in a timely manner, Shen Tian would not let go of such a good opportunity.

He could beat up this ferocious beast to vent out his frustration!

At the same time, Shen Tian was curious just how powerful his Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage was!

Shen Tian leaped into the air. Golden light surrounded him, and numerous avatars appeared behind him.

The ten Lightning Beasts, Dragon God, Phoenix God avatars, and so on… had all appeared, making him seem like he was like an immortal that descended from the Celestial World.

His fearsome aura surged out and covered the whole sea region.

“Such a powerful aura!”

Shi Linglong's eyes betrayed her astonishment.

Brother Shen became even stronger in just the half month we did not meet!?

Just his aura alone is on par with that peak Demon Venerable ferocious beast.

Feng Wu was also astounded as she witnessed this.

“Huh, what's happening?

“Why does Brother Shen possess the Phoenix God avatar and divine phoenix power?

“Also, in terms of quality, the grade of that power is even higher than my race's elders!”

Feng Wu was the Immortal Phoenix race's princess and cultivated the Divine Phoenix Imperial Sutra. Thus, she was extremely familiar with the divine phoenix power.

However, Feng Wu could sense that Shen Tian's body contained an extremely pure divine phoenix power. Its grade was extremely high, and it was even more powerful than the divine phoenix power within her.

Had Shen Tian not been in the midst of battle, she would have already questioned him.

Meanwhile, the battle was already in progress.

Shen Tian attacked brazenly. Golden light flowed underneath his feet like a meteorite, directly dashing toward that ferocious beast.

Roar!

The dragonfish roared hideously, and all the bone spikes on its body stood up like numerous sharp spears as if wanting to stab holes even in space.

Shen Tian charged forward and punched.

The various avatars behind him roared and emitted extremely fearsome power that was crushing even the fabrics of space.

The power of that punch was enough to astonish the five regions.

Bang!

A loud thud echoed as that golden punch landed on the bone spikes and smashed them into pieces.

That punch was terrifying!

Shen Tian smiled when he saw that.

As expected of how terrifying the Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage was!

His physical body's strength could be compared to that of a Sage's.

That dragonfish may be at the peak Mighty Prowess realm and have a powerful body, but it was still far from the Life Death Calamity[1] realm.

Therefore, the dragonfish instantly let out a tragic wail due to Shen Tian's attack.

The dragonfish's bone spikes were an extension of its bones and connected to the whole body. In other words, they were the dragonfish's lifeline.

Now that the bone spikes were crushed, it was like its spine had been crushed. One could imagine how painful that must be.

The dragonfish could sense how frightening Shen Tian was, so it quickly leaped away as if wanting to dive into the sea.

“You want to leave just like that? I still haven't had my fair share of fun!”

Shen Tian's back emitted golden light, and he instantly appeared beside the ferocious beast.

Boom!

Shen Tian punched it yet again, knocking away the humongous dragonfish. It created a large splash as it fell into the water heavily.

“Awo!”

That dragonfish let out a miserable wail. It started to struggle due to the severe pain and created raging waves. The churning waves surged toward Shen Tian as if wanting to force him to retreat.

However, Shen Tian's invincible punch obliterated everything in its path.

The current Shen Tian was like an invincible God of War, with every punch accurately landing on the dragonfish's body as he attacked relentlessly.

A few bone spikes would be broken with each punch, so the dragonfish's roar reverberated throughout the whole sea region.

The slack-jawed Shi Linglong, who was at the side, stared at Shen Tian in a daze.

“Such a powerful body, so strong!”

Shi Linglong's heart fluttered. What she witnessed was the purest form of physical strength. It was already rare to see that humans' physical strength could be on par with a ferocious beast's.

Not to mention Shen Tian, a Nirvana practitioner, was overpowering that peak Mighty Prowess ferocious beast.

Everything was simply unbelievable!

No matter how knowledgeable Shi Linglong was, she could not help but be astounded!

Shen Tian had turned the ferocious beast's body into a sandbag—Shi Linglong could not even penetrate it earlier!

Shen Tian looked like an invincible God of War in his Longyuan Divine Armor, and the infatuated Princess Linglong was staring at him blankly.

Boom!

Finally, that dragonfish could not endure Shen Tian's thrashing, and its body exploded, turning into a bloody mist that dispersed in the surroundings.

In that instant, Shi Linglong finally reacted, and the infatuation in her eyes also turned to astonishment.

She had not been paying attention to the battle situation at all as she was only looking at Shen Tian's perfect figure.

When she finally snapped back to her senses, the ferocious beast was already dead!

He's just too powerful!

The Divine Firmament Saint was able to improve so much in just half a month!?

Shi Linglong suddenly felt that even her cousin might not be able to defeat Shen Tian!

“Princess, why are you in such a place?”

Shen Tian slowly descended. His breathing was stable, as if he had not had a high-intensity battle moments ago.

In fact, that was the case. Shen Tian basically had not spent much strength as he had completely relied on his Chaotic Golden Body Ninth Refinement Stage to overpower that ferocious beast.

Be it physical strength or speed, that dragonfish could not be compared to Shen Tian at all. It had been unable to defeat Shen Tian. Even after exposing its bone spikes, its lifeline, it could not resist at all.

“Thank you, Saint, for saving me. I have come here to search for Penglai Island.”

Shi Linglong thanked Shen Tian, and she did not conceal that she was searching for Penglai Island.

If Shen Tian had not appeared, she might have been in danger. She could not win against that dragonfish after all.

Fortuitous opportunities were nothing compared to one's life.

Of course, Shen Tian's handsomeness was also a small part of Princess Linglong's reason to tell him about Penglai Island.

Of course, it was only an extremely small part of the reason…

“Penglai Island?”

Shen Tian raised his eyebrows. He had heard of Penglai Island before. According to rumors, this island was deep in North Sea and isolated from the outside world. It was also known as the Penglai Fairyland.

Shi Linglong nodded and said, “Rumors say that 10,000 years ago, the best Thearch in alchemy, the Lotus Thearch, had lived in seclusion in Penglai Island. He would make pills to treat illnesses and save people from misery.

“I read a few ancient books, and they speculated that Penglai Island was in this region. So I decided to come and try my luck in Penglai Island to see if I can find the Lotus Thearch's heritage.”

Shi Linglong took out a yellowed map that recorded Penglai Island's location.

“Would Brother Shen be willing to head to Penglai Island with me?”

Shi Linglong fixated her gaze on Shi Linglong.

“You were the one that found this map, so I'm afraid that it will be inappropriate for me to get involved,” replied Shen Tian.

If one were to invite others to explore a mystic realm together, then the fortuitous opportunities obtained would have to be shared.

Princess Linglong already had the map with Penglai Island's location, so she would naturally be able to find it shortly after. Therefore, it was no exaggeration to say that Princess Linglong was completely giving treasures to Shen Tian for free by inviting him!

“Frankly speaking, although I know that Penglai Island is nearby, it's definitely not easy to enter an island where a Thearch had been living in seclusion.

“For example, I could only retreat if you had not helped me defeat that ferocious beast just now.”

Shi Linglong looked at Shen Tian sincerely and said, “Also, Brother Shen is also an unprecedented Son of Providence. I'll definitely be able to have bountiful gains if I travel with you.”

Shen Tian looked at Shi Linglong's shining providence halo—there was the scene of a fortuitous opportunity within it!

Evidently, he would be able to freeload again if he followed her!

His providence had decreased greatly when he had broken through previously!

I wonder how much providence I will recover after this trip~

“Since you've invited me, it will be impolite for me to decline.”

“Alright, then we'll head out now!”

Shi Linglong was instantly elated once Shen Tian accepted her invitation.

She was originally worried that Shen Tian would reject her. After all, fortuitous opportunities were lying everywhere in wait for a Son of Providence like him. In other words, there was no need for him to travel with her.

However, after mentioning that there might be dangers in Penglai Island, Shen Tian agreed to travel with her.

Weren't his intentions obvious enough?

Shi Linglong could not help but smile, and her pretty face even turned red like a tomato.

It must be because Brother Shen is worried about my safety, and he wants to protect me.

Brother Shen definitely likes me!

That's right, it makes me so full of happiness~
